General sites we like:

Yachts and Yachting Magazine : Has developed into a really good general sailing news page. We like it.

Sailing Anarchy : A kind of American version of what we'd like Clydesailing to be like if we had the wherewithal. Even looks a wee bit like us.

The Daily Sail : This is really good- the best in fact - but we're too cheap to take out a subscription

Organising bodies and others


Clyde Cruising Club Important Clyde sailing club site. Cruising and racing not least all about the Scottish Series

Largs Sailing Club a good site from a club that's going places. Excellent weather page.

Fairlie Yacht Club Now a well organised site with message board. Pictures of social events outnumber those of sailing at present.

WHISCA : Yacht Clubs on the West Coast

Royal Ocean Racing Club Rating Office - IRC handicaps and more stuff like that
