Updated Web-site

Hi Everyone,

We have upgraded our web-site to a new platform.  Unfortunately this means you will need to re-register on the site.  I’d appreciate it if you could let me know of any teething problems you experience.  It will take a week or two for us to get all of the features working – we will have much improved functionality once we get this complete.

Happy sailing!

Cliff
