We have updated the website, actually more rebuilt it from the ground up and put up photos of the boat from this season - let us know what you think - all constructive criticism welcome

Can't say I'm a web designer, more of a programmer, but I have built websites and web apps in the past. There are plenty of sites out there that will give you design tips and I'd look for a better use of colour, typography and layout.
Compare your site to Scoprions, GoldFish and even Ring Powerboats. These sites have a consistent look throughout all their pages and strangely enough use a black background and very similar fonts. I'd take input from these sites and apply it to your web presence.
I see you are using FrameSets which I haven't seen for years!!
On a positive note the boat looks fantastic.
Cheers
Mark

I used FrameSets for my first powerboat web site in 1998!!
I wonder now if Facebook is the best way forward?

Your web site is the equivelent of TD running a keep fit class
or JF writing an article in a power boat mag about chauldron boats
and even me promoting RB12
Still work experience is very important for the kids these days

Changed a few bits and pieces and added some more photos - what do you think now?

You still have FrameSets which are 'so yesterday'. You could get away with it if on your home page you didn't have a vertical navigation bar.
Although I think you are using the same font throughout the site there are different font sizes and use of bold, which doesn't give a consistent look.
The dark background emphasizes the photo's, which I think is a big improvement.
I'm out in the US for the next few days, but i might knock you up a similar looking site but using a different approach.
Cheers
Mark

Agree with Mark the dark back ground improves the pictures and the font needs changing. Don't understand the mechanics of web sites so can't comment about the technical stuff.
Oh and picture 8 looks over dressed.
