Anti-Spamming Policy

The Boat Shop does not endorse "spamming".

We do not want people to receive unsolicited e-mail.  In the strictest sense of the definition, you can not contact anyone via e-mail unless that person has specifically told you that you can contact them or invited contact (i.e. classified ad).  This applies to businesses, non-profit organizations, and individuals.

We do support open communications and we feel that 99.9% percent of the boating/sailing community wants to hear about boating/sailing matters, receive pertinent information about the industry, and be informed about resources that are available on the Internet.

The best way to let as many people know about the important matters, pertinent information, and resources is via e-mail.  Most people do not appreciate receiving junk mail (normally without a valid reply address and a questionable "offer" of some kind).  However, there are some people that are offended about receiving legitimate e-mail telling them about similar interest matters.

To avoid offending anyone, The Boat Shop does not send out "spam".  We will occasionally send out information to people that have indicated they are interested in boating and/or sailing.  If that offends anyone, we apologize.  We do not want to intrude into anyone's life.

If you wish to never receive e-mail of any kind from The Boat Shop please visit our "removal page".

To all true boaters and sailors.... Thank you for you time and understanding.

Sincerely,

Tom McKibbin
WebMaster
