It’s hard to believe what you are saying is true Sailingdog. I would think that writers and authors have some kind of ethical and moral obligation to the community to be impartial. Even if they have a financial interest with a manufacturer.
On the other hand, my husband seems to think more like you in this area. He has read the whole Drag Device Data Book and thinks it a little suspicious how the majority of the testimonials in the book are about the ParaTech brand sea anchor. We are not buying that brand anyways.
I definitely have to agree that it is not cool how Victor Shane does not link the other drag device sites as you pointed out. It just feels wrong.
I hate to switch subjects, but can you recommend a good website for used boating equipment? My husband and I are trying to gear up our Manta 42 and it’s getting expensive.
