Cruising Resources: Insights

INSIGHTS was launched at the start of 2020 to celebrate Noonsite's 20 years on the web. INSIGHTS is a platform where guest contributors from the sailing and cruising world can share a variety of viewpoints on nautical-related topics ranging from how-to tutorials and equipment reviews to cruising single-handed and voyaging with a conscience. Topics: a little boy smiling up at the camera holding onto the lifelines at the bow of the boat with a dolphin under the water below him  a woman in a pink t shirt proudly holding up a colourful reef fish dying in her hands    Some of the topics covered so far include man overboard, living off-grid, boat schooling and tips on how to "sail away".       Authors: Guest contributors include authors, sailing instructors, circumnavigators, extreme sailors and just regular cruisers like you and me.       Take part: If you would like to be considered as a guest contributor, please contact editor@noonsite.com with a short summary of articles you have in mind and the word INSIGHTS in the subject line. See the Reports tab below for all INSIGHTS posted to date.
