NEW

Convoys and Cruising in Company FORUM
Launched in July, this forum replaces the very popular convoys page on noonsite. Post your message here if you are planning a passage where safety in numbers is preferable and you wish to be a part of, or organise, a convoy. Post here also if you simply are looking for some cruising company on passage and would like to hook up with yachts doing the same trip. There is an excellent new report linked to this forum with important information for those planning a Red Sea passage.

Don’t forget to check out noonsite’s Weather and Routing Forum. Launched in January the Forum is now becoming well populated with questions and answers. If you can offer advice to any of the cruisers who have posted questions, please just take a few minutes to register for the forum and contribute to what we hope will be a community of long-distance cruisers helping each other with advice and recommendations.
