NEW PUBLICATIONS - All-new Shipmate Marine Directory

The all-new 2011 edition of Shipmate Marine Directory – the Victorian boaters essential guide, is out now and available free to boaters.

This 136-page pocket book — published annually and in its seventh edition — is essential cabin kit for anyone venturing on Victoria’s waterways.

Contents include a complete list of yacht clubs and marinas, an A to Z of marine trades and services (listed by category), details on the steer-clear zones for Port Phillip, Corio and Western Port Bays, information on the new Port Melbourne and St Kilda boating and swimming zones, as well as a complete Docklands boating guide.

A special feature of this year’s Shipmate Marine Directory is the Who You Gonna Call section. Here, boaters can identify the different organisations responsible for various aspects of our waterways in any contingency. Everything is covered, phone numbers including: who to call in an emergency: reporting pollution; injury to wildlife; on-water events, etc.

Published by boaters for boaters, Shipmate is a fully inclusive, independent and comprehensive guide to all things boating.

Look for the distinctive purple cover and pick-up your free copy at yacht clubs, marinas, marine organisations and selected marine businesses.
