| This site was designed mainly for South Coast DCA members, but anyone can join subject to approval by the site managers. It is a good place for viewing members' rally photos and getting an idea of the types of boat we sail, tents and activities. You can view the photos and read the discussions without joining, but you can't make any contributions of your own unless you join the site. |
| This is the main Dinghy Cruising Association site, although not kept as up-to-date as it might be. It was created by member Johnny Adams, more for a bit of fun than for any serious purpose, and he can't quite believe how popular it has become. It is a very good site for new or prospective DCA members to find all about what goes on in the DCA. |
| a very popular discussion site, also created by Johnny Adams, and much more heavily used than Micro Cruisers. Most of the contributors sail in the North West area. Some of the contributors seem to have nothing else to do other than sit all day in front of their computers! |
| This site was created in 2006 by Dick Houghton and is the East Coast equivalent to Micro Cruisers, although most contributions at the moment seem to be from Dick. However, our own Micro Cruisers has taken several years to liven-up, so give this one time . . . . |
| Thanks to David Sumner for sending the link to this site - it is great fun, and also of educational interest. You can follow the movement of shipping in the Solent, see webcam photos of various viewpoints around the area, including live pictures of Portsmouth Harbour entrance, learn about and view photos of the various ships, where they are bound, what type of vessels they are, whether anchored or under weigh, etc. |
| Even if you've no intention of building a Paradox, this site of Alastair's is very interesting and the Paradox is a remarkable boat. He has included accounts of his earliest cruises and these alone are well worth reading. |
| Ray Ellard from Australia discovered this site by accident and sent it to me because he thought it would be of interest to members. Quite right too! It shows aerial views of all, or many of, the Solent shoals, although you need to be familiar with the area to be able to identify where they are. |
| A short narrative and half-a-dozen photos on the construction and sailing of Keith Holdsworth's little boat, Flying Pig. |
| Useful site for anyone owning or thinking of purchasing a Skipper 17 or Eagle 525. |
| Website for proposed round-the-world race for ten footers |
| Site created to help Cormorant owners (the original Cormorant) share their experiences, seek solutions to problems, etc. |
