and wonderous Naga. And he's designed over

historic design breakthroughs.
Golden Oldies Multihulls Association

Ninth
Charm trimaran website
Ninth Charm is a sistership to our trimaran
Naga. She's somewhat newer, she sports a
wing mast, and she's build in foam core and epoxy,
unlike Naga's wood/epoxy (WEST System)
construction. The Charmers are in the South West
Pacific as I write this, not so far from us,
and one of these days we hope to get together.
Take a look at their site.
Defender
Marine (USA)
A good alternative to West Marine among USA equipment
source, and usually cheaper, Defender is my favorite
stateside source for all sorts of marine boating
equipment.
Glascraft
Marine (Australia)
I've had great luck ordering from Glascraft for
delivery to New Zealand and the South Pacific, cheaper
than US or Kiwi orders.
Garhauer
Marine Hardware (California)
Garhauer produces excellent quality deck hardware
in 316 Stainless Steel and marine grade aluminum,
specializing in beautiful ball bearing blocks. Their
equipment is at extremely competitive prices and
are much cheaper than competitors like Lewmar or
Harken or Schaefer.
A
Short Guide to Celestial Navigation
An excellent
site that explains the mysteries and provides free
computer software to do your calculations.

Links for News and Current Affairs:
Most of us cruisers who have been living aboard or cruising for a while rely heavily on Short Wave broadcasts to keep up with news and current events. The Internet has recently become another source.
Our links mostly avoid the large state or commercial broadcasters and their websites because you get their establishment unitary version and views on things incessantly and at every turn anyway. It's normal for them to be pro-big-business and pro-big-power - and since we are just normal little folks they don't seem to represent our interests or views very well! So we prefer alternative sources, sources that are more for the little guy and progressive. You probably don't know some of them, so enjoy . . .
GlobalResarch.Ca
- The Center for Research on Globalization
This is perhaps one of the most important sites on
the Net. An amazing site that makes it very clear
that nothing in today's world is as it seems to be.
Visit this site to discover the world you are living
in now.
WSWS
- World Socialist Web Site
The WSWS includes frequent trenchantly perceptive
commentaries on current events that are often worth
a good look. It has a lot of other fascinating offerings
too.
John
Pilger - The journalism and films of John Pilger
Pilger's work appears regularly in The Independent
(Britain) and elsewhere. He deals with the most
important issues of the day - and the era! - cutting
mercilessly through the thick fog of obfuscation
that permeates most media on matters of importance.
He penetrates clearly into the essence of issues
and their real relevance for us.
And sometimes we share links with other sites:
