	Boat Safety Scheme	The Boat Safety Scheme, or BSS, is a public safety initiative owned equally by the Canal & River Trust and the Environment Agency. Its purpose is to help minimise the risk of boat fires, explosions, or pollution harming visitors to the inland waterways, the waterways' workforce and any other users.
	Boats of the Norfolk Broads	Wonderful site created by the late Craig Slawson and featuring a database of over 40,000 boats seen on the broads over a 45 year period. In addition to the searchable database, you will also find details of many boat builders and designers along with a list of boatyards. I'm not sure what will happen to the site now that Craig is no longer with us but I would be happy to talk to his family about maintaining his legacy.
	Broads Authority	Official site of the Broads Authority with useful information about navigation, management, history, and visiting.
	BroadsNet	BroadsNet - Pete's Norfolk Broads Boating Guide Fascinating site with cruising guides for all rivers and in-depth details about many of the sights and places to visit. There's something here for everyone whether you're new or have been cruising the broads for years. Lovely photographs and a great read.
	BuyRope	All types of rope and associated hardware. BoatingInfo.co.uk site users can obtain 10% discount off their entire order cost using the code: boating10
	Canal & River Trust	Charity supporting 2000 miles of UK inland waterways.
	Project Troll	Realtime bridge heights including Beccles Old Road, Beccles Bypass New, Yarmouth Acle Road, Yarmouth Vauxhall, and Potter Heigham Old Bridge
	Royal Yachting Association	National body for dinghy, yacht and motor cruising, all forms of sail racing, RIBs and sports boats, windsurfing and personal watercraft and a leading representative for inland waterways cruising.
	Tide History	Development site that I use to collate and compare data for my bridge height estimates. The Environment Agency provides tide data in API form that is freely available. I collate this information by timestamp into a single table so that I can easily compare Lowestoft, Gorleston, and Haven Bridge data to create my realtime bridge height estimates. NB. at the moment, only the Lowestoft data is available in near-real-time. Gorleston can often be a hour behind and Haven Bridge is usually only available for the previous days up to 0430 on the day of the API query.
