"A superior sailor is one who uses his superior judgment to keep out of situations requiring the use of his superior skills." ~Anonymous ~

The Internet is a fabulous resource for sailing and yachting. The lure of the sea is apparent; the information available ranges from current weather conditions and race results to Tall Ships and extensive maritime history. Purchase a half hull model or view marine prints. Build a boat. Read or re-read MOBY DICK and BILLY BUDD. The Internet offers something for everyone who loves the sea.
