Favorite Web Sites
Photographs of marinas, ports, etc, all round the world This is the site to go for if you want a birds eye view of marinas that you are going to visit. If you find your own permanent mooring you can even zoom in and may even see your own boat! We did!Westerly Owners Association website This is a good site not just for Westerly Owners but for all ‘yotties’. Excellent if you want to sell your yacht as its free to advertise on there if a member. We bought and sold through them.
Info & booking of moorings – Portbooker It does what it says on the tin!
All things sailing! I use this site for its very comprehensive glossary of sailing terms – handy for crosswords! It also has many interesting sailing links (though mostly American!)
Global site for cruising sailors Lots on information on here about various countries, and ports, etc. Passed on by David & Ann to us – thanks!
Knots, knots, and more knots! A bit of fun this, and useful if you are not very good at knots, like me.
Practical help for boaters
Inland waterways maps, etc Another useful site if intending to visit Belgium or the Netherlands on your boat
Inland Waterways site Invaluable website if you are intending to cruise the European waterways – especially the Netherlands – charts, books, etc. can be ordered from here.
Sailing & Yachting downloadable manuals Invaluable for the practical minded – engine manuals, manufacturers download pages, etc. (passed on by another Westerly owner on a forum – thanks!!)
Weather links
