An online acquaintance was kind enough to send me his wealth of online resources and links concerning boating and boat building (thanks Klaus!). Since he lives in Europe, he has a much more European bent, so I'm excited to be able to present some resources that would be harder for us U.S. types to run across.

First off the bat is the Canal Junction site... centered around the British Canals, this site has a great deal of information from boats, boat types, recommendations for boating rentals, boat buying tips, navigation, lodging... a little bit of everything.

As a fan of the British Isles (for vacations, anyhow), this provided me with a lot of neat reading (and makes me want to go back and have a canal boat holiday!).
