Parts of a Sailboat A couple of great graphics to show a landlubber what's what. Gives the important stuff without going into overwhelming detail.
The Shooting Star Boating Safety Page Links to the Coast Guard and other important folks.
United States Coast Guard Home Page
IslandBud's Sailing Links to just about everything that has to do with sailing, including many things Caribbean. There are a lot of links to charter companies if you're looking.
The American Pratical Navigator The book on-line. Coming soon. You need Acrobat Reader to get the files. Download your free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
MarineWaypoints.com An unbelieveable collection of links to anything having to do with the water. If it's not here, it's not on the web. Catagorized and alphabatized, but not summarized so know what you're looking for or have lots of time to browse.
Nautical Know How-Safe Boating Tips A great collection of useful knowledge from people who teach boating classes. Another 3 hr. (at least) site! I particularly liked the spring check-list and the Rules of Thumb.
National Weather Service Bouy Reports Clik on a map to get current weather and wave conditions from various bouys all over the world.
SailNet A source of a lot of good information. There are several good columns that I enjoy checking regularly.
