Sailing Anarchy (SA) is an edgy website tailored to the sailing enthusiasts looking an unexpected slant on news related to the sport. The motto of the page is "Where the Status Quo Blows."
Reading through the site, there were articles on a new Farr 11, sailing with the Boy Scouts in San Diego, surf lifesaving near Melbourne, Dr. Laura's J/145, the Velux Five Oceans, threatened lawsuits, and the Monsoon Cup. Sailing Anarchy is a diverse and thorough sailing resource.
Founders explain their philosophy this way, "This site is being produced for the love of the game, not as part of some ridiculous dot com strategy, or a "gee isn't our sport of yachting so wonderful" philosophy. It is a forum for industry insiders and racing sailors to exchange ideas." I'd say they got it right, there is no attempt made in the site to be politically correct.
SA features a large number of sailing related articles, a section that sells their branded gear, a chat space, and forum. There is also a Q&A page, an archive of audio and video files, sailboat classifieds, and complete listings of sail race information. A person could spend some time lost in the site, give it a turn.
