Before reading on, please pause for a moment to take this week’s survey so we can share the results with the Cruising Compass family.
In light of the large increase in marine accidents over the last two years, do you think that people who operate their boats in U.S. coastal waters should be licensed to do so by their states?
Thanks to all readers who took a moment to fill out last week’s survey on RIBs. 72% own a rib. Of the 28% who do not, only 15% plan to buy one in the future. Of those who own a RIB, 64% have one that is 10 feet long, 23% have an 8-footer, 12% have a 12 footer and 1% have a RIB longer than 12 feet.
