Directory: Further Reading on the TopicA young page like Sailingahead.com cannot provide all the information you are looking for – and this isn’t my aim either. In this section, I try to refer you to other sailing sources that I enjoyed and think might be useful for you.
I hope that you will find this directory useful, too. In other sections of this website you will find links with a more specific purpose such as boat reviews.
I am currently working on expanding the directory, so do come back frequently! Supporters of Sailingahead.comA fair number of websites on sailing and related topics have agreed to
support my little project in one way or the other. Here you can find out which
ones.::more Marine Weather and Sailing Weather ForecastsWeather resources are more than useful - they can be essential for safe
sailing. Here you can find my collection of online information sources on
current weather forecasts as well as tides, storm warning services and torrent
information sites. ::more Maritime Museums, Naval Heritage and Museum ShipsPart I: Maritime Museums in the US and Canada Part II: Maritime Museums in Great Britain and Ireland Part III: Maritime Museums in

As this website follows two major topics – sailing as a hobby and as a theme for vacations –
I have also included references to
theme cruises as well as trip reports and photography from private pages. I
don't want to give a full record of anything, I simply collected some links
that I found useful, informative or amusing.
