we go to work today - Orgo Yachting !!
Hello sailor! - I spend a lot of my time sailing, and very little web surfing - I'd rather be out on the water than reading about someone else sailing. Having said that, there are some useful resources on the Internet for sailors so I am trying to gather some of them together here.
Some of the information here is edited by me and as I do this as a hobby (am I mad?) it can not be guaranteed to be up to date or accurate - I try my best!
You'll find that the regularity of updates falls of in the summer as I spend my spare time sailing instead of being stuck in front of a monitor geeking ;-)
