Search at Intheboatshed.net

Fed up with searching using Google, only to have to deal with a huge, messy list of irrelevant results?

So am I. To solve this problem I’ve set up a customised search facility aimed at traditional boats, boatbuilding and restoration, primarily with a UK emphasis.

Try it out now! It’s only at the very beginning at the moment, but I think it’s already producing interesting results. For example, try searching on the term ‘schooner’ using the standard Google search engine, and then try the same search here:

Over the months, I’m planning to develop it by adding each relevant web address I come across, and by excluding irrelevant pages.

And if you’d like to add sites, or help eliminate the rubbish, please either let me know or volunteer via the homepage.

The origin of the dory is clouded in the mists of time, but this kind of boat Continue reading “A dory in winter”
