Boat trivia quiz
We compiled this Boat Trivia Quiz several years ago, printed up copies and used it at a US Power Squadron rendezvous. Everyone had a great time. Since then, we have used it at several other gatherings of boaters – and even working in teams no one comes up with all the right answers. I would suggest if you allow internet access, impose a time limit to make it more challenging. All the answers are out there on the world wide web, but if you get in a pinch and really need help, send us a note. Have fun!!!!
