General Sailing Links
I started the link directory on
Sailingahead.com with a couple of websites I found entertaining,
informative or worth being noticed for other reasons. Over time, I included
more and more links and I had to add sub-sections, which pushed the original
links to the bottom.
Since they don't deserve to be neglected, I decided to create a
subsection especially for these links. They were the seed of the directory!
I hope you find them useful, this sub-page is closed for further entries;
however, if you think that there is a link that just has to be included,
feel free to tell me about it!
