A note from David Stookey, site editor:

CR comes of skippering our family cruising boats (21’ and 52’) some 18,000 miles up, down, and across the Atlantic, Med and Caribbean.

The result is one man's mental chart of sailboat cruising: the topics, keywords, and information sources.

In these pigeon holes, I am collecting useful links so you can quickly reach information from many sources. I scour the internet, read magazines and books, and pour through product and sailboat literature.

I have tried to avoid commercial bias or conflict of interest. I select and rank resources for their usefulness to cruisers - in my judgment. I include appropriate vendors and change a vendor's position on the page randomly every few weeks, EXCEPT for Sponsors who pay me for placement near the top of a Topic page. Sponsors are marked as such. I do not receive payment if you click to a Sponsor, and no vendor is excluded if they decline to sponsor a topic.

I’d like to know how CR works for you – the information, and particularly how it might be better presented.

You can also point me to the good sources I’ve overlooked or the topics I’ve left out.
