Disclaimer
Our objective at MyBOATSgear is to inform & educate boaters about the latest and
best boating products. We do not sell or take money from manufacturers, we
provide information. Information to make your boating gear and equipment
decisions easier.
We review all the products at the Boat shows, past, present & future, and add
other cool gear we find from multiple other sources. We then pick the best gear
and put them into a format that you can easily browse.
Boating Equipment and Gear is organized into 20
top level categories and more than 200 lower level categories. See the
site map for all the major and sub level categories
for an idea of what to find
where.
You will find images and descriptions of the gear we find. To learn more
about a product
simply click on the image or link to get more information.
Because we do the work looking for the best gear, you save lots of time and
energy. You will find direct links to the manufacturer of the product. So
look no further featuring frequent updates.

List of
newsletter topics
Sign up for our newsletters and you will learn about the best products in a
category & the latest gear coming out. Newsletters are focused on certain equipment functions. For example we
have newsletters on all sorts of communications. You can learn about the
technology involved and where its going along with equipment used and
manufacturers that supply the relevant goods.
Other newsletters cover boats and the equipment they use. We
found much interest in showing equipment in a environment that indicates its
use. Hence if we find a vessel with interesting and different equipment we will
bring it to you.
Featured Product
This page is devoted to products that we consider a bit above the Frey and need
some more explanation. We take a look including many more images and
descriptions and explanation of how the thing works.
Here are all the
featured products.
MyBOATSgear was founded by Mike Hobson. This was after seeing many
potentially popular products go almost unnoticed and looked for a place where all
good new products could get promoted.
Mike has been in the marine industry his whole working life, starting with a
diploma in Yacht Design and going on to build boats, design boats and outfitting
boats and commissioning boats. Mike's experience in design and building a boat
from top to bottom and sea trialing so many boats has allowed him to understand
all aspects of the products that go into a boat, whether they are built into the boat
from the manufacturer or added after market accessories.
Technology has gotten so much better over the years and the benefits are
there for all of us. The obvious category that benefits from technology is
electronics and the internet. Also we can look at fibers like carbon which helps
us build lighter, stronger, stiffer structures which allow for new propulsion
systems to meld with the lighter structures. Propulsion systems in sailboats
include stiff carbon masts lighter sails and more powerful sails. In powerboats
new engines produce more power and eat up less gas.
Also technology is abound in the after sales market. Small medium and large
companies are producing new products that make our boating life easier, safer
and save time. MyBoatsGear
exposes these products and the benefits.
By exposing these products we all win. Manufacturers who produce better
products can get the exposure and you the boater can find them here.
Manufacturers are continually producing new and exciting products and our
goal is to help bring these to the attention of the boating public.
By providing unique information, we help you to learn about products
available to you but you did not know about them or where to get them.
We have many sources of information and qualified experts in many boating
fields. If you have a question contact us and tell us your problem
We have many sources of gear, but if you a boater have used something different and
purposeful, something your fellow boater could use, please let us know.
We present new products and new ideas. We make no representation about the
quality or workmanship of the products, that is for you to decide. We provide
the information and believe it is good otherwise we would not present it. But
the decision to purchase is the buyers.
