I update this list frequently so check back often. To suggest a link please e-mail me at Contact Me. Proposed links must be related to boatbuilding and provide technical information about boatbuilding and/or a forum about boatbuilding. If it is your website I will ask you to provide a link to New Boatbuilders Home Page. You do not have to do this, but I believe it would benefit both of us.
