A must-have for boaters - and it's free!
These days it's not very often that someone gives you something for free and if they do, you could be forgiven for asking, where's the catch?The all-new 2009 edition of Shipmate Marine Directory, the Victorian boaters' essential guide, has just been released and you guessed it ... it's free and there is no catch!
Hard to miss with its bright red cover, this quality publication, in a handy pocket size, crams a lot into its 136 full colour pages.
As well as a complete A-Z listing of marine trades and services, Shipmate includes details on yacht clubs, marinas, marine organisations, fuel services, emergency contacts and essential safety information.
Shipmate Marine Directory is compiled and produced by boaters for boaters and the new edition includes a host of new features and categories that make it a must-have on board and boat operating in Victorian waters.
This year Shipmate includes a guide and maps on all of the Steer Clear Zones for recreational boaters on Port Phillip, Westernport and Corio bays, and features information on the new VHF repeater network operating along the Victorian coast, with details including; relevant Coast Guard Flotillas, their call signs, monitored channels, radio coverage area and hours of operation.
As well as Shipmate being free to boaters, all of the listings within Shipmate are also free. There are no prerequisites for a free listing, other than providing a trade or service to Victorian boaters and there is no requirement to be a part of any group or organisation. This ensures a complete and comprehensive resource for boaters.
