Looking forward to some warmer weather when you can wear a T-Shirt without fear of freezing your nipples?
Me too. Brrrrr.
In fact I’m dying to get on the water again, something that selling my Laser this week isn’t going to help with. But then again, sailing a singlehanded dinghy meant for ‘fit young things’ (which I’m [...]

SailTimer – YASIA
What does YASIA stand for? “Yet Another Sailing iPhone App”. You may be forgiven for thinking that of late we only write about iPhone apps on Harbour Exchange, and actually you may have a point.

How to be Safe at Sea – IT’S WET

While many of these are real accidents that no-one could have forseen, a great proportion are rescues or incidents that could have been avoided by better preparation [...]

‘AllNews’ and BoatNe.ws
I have been lucky to see Guy Kawasaki give his ‘Art of the Start‘ talk live. If you have the chance to see him, don’t miss it. It’s irreverent, cuts through the corporate bull and is very, very funny. For those that don’t know Guy, he worked at apple in the early days, runs [...]
Top Sailing Applications for the iPhone
I simply love anything made by Apple. You can see this clearly from my re-post in Clubhouse of a post written mid 2008. Since writing that post I have acquired a white iPhone 3G, a Christmas present from my wife and daughter. It is simply brilliant in almost every way and I for one [...]
