This page contains hyperlinks to web sites which are of interest to people who sail, particularly on the UK south coast. There are links to a specialist bookshop and some of the popular sailing magazines. Boat Exchange is a site specialising in providing information relating to sailing and has a large number of links to general interest subjects and newspaper sites from all over the UK. The other sites listed here are perhaps only of interest to particular groups of sailors with specific yachts.

• AIS Ship Plotter Software
  This site provides PC software that, with input from a suitable radio, displays the Automatic Identification System data on an electronic chart.
• South Coast Harbours UK
  Good site for gathering knowledge on harbours along the south coast of England. You can get valuable information on marinas and places to visit from here.
• Mariner.co.uk
  Contains information on UK sailing fraternity. Lists names of yacht clubs and other useful information.
• Warsash Nautical Bookshop
  Probably the most well known nautical bookshop in the world. If a book has been published relating to the sea, navigation or boats of any description, this is where you will find it. Highly recommended.
• Flagmakers
  Great site for e-commerce! Why not find the flag you need and purchase it on-line. One of the best flag producers. This is the place to get a Gin Pennant.
• Practical Boat Owner
  Just as it says this magazine caters for the practical yachtsman. It has lots of useful ideas and suppliers information. Very popular with yacht owners who may have just bought their first boat. Includes good equipment test articles.

  Published by the same company as Practical Boat Owner this magazine includes stories of readers experiences and runs articles on boat test sails. It also can describe journeys to ports within cruising distance around the UK including some good local knowledge and both maps and chartlets of the places in question.
• Motor Boat & Yachting

• Boat Exchange
  An award winning site with plenty of really interesting and useful information relating to sailing and the needs of the sailing community. You can spend many an hour perusing this site and its links.
• Ship Research!
  What do you need to know about ships? This is a good port of call if you would like information on historic ships - both merchant and military. Great site on a rainy day in the winter.
• Westerly Owners Association
  If you own a Westerly then you will almost certainly want to get the benefits of belonging to this group. The association have a good relationship with Westerly and provide some very useful information on the range of yachts which have been manufactured by this company. Good discounts are available to members.

• RNSA
  The Royal Naval Sailing Association is for serving and retired members of the Royal Navy. It has a world wide and extensive membership who keep in touch via a regular newsletter. Visiting foreign ports can be made so much easier when you can put your finger on the name of someone with local knowledge.
  
• Boatsafe (USA) Informative web site for sailing folk in the USA. Well worth a peruse. Interesting 'Learn to Sail' scheme on-line.
