Re: North Up or Heading Up?

I personally see no advantage to north up. Why subject you brain to one additional calculation: The reef is on the port side of the display. To steer away from it turn to port. It's not logical and...

Re: Buying a US Boat and Importing to Canada

You need to talk to both an accountant and a lawyer. I am pretty sure a non-US resident cannot document a boat - for that you need to be a US citizen to do that. I believe you can get state...
