There’s plenty of sites out there that provide a detailed history of canoe sailing, so I’ll not be replicating existing content. What I will do is use this section to provide links to stuff I’ve found interesting or useful. It may turn out to be a self-indulgent set of resources as I keep on forgetting where I’ve read things so this seems an ideal place to keep links.
