Please feel free to add your favorite sailing links that would be helpful to Nevermore sailors

Nautical Terminology

http://www.seatalk.info has an excellent and extensive nautical dictionary

Knots

http://www.iwillknot.com/ has videos on how to tie knots

http://www.sailingusa.info/sailing_knots.htm

If you are going to sail regularly, it's important you know how to 
tie a bowline, how to cleat properly, and how to do a clove hitch.
If you might have a winch overrun, or get a lobster trap line in your prop, 
you'll want to have learned the rolling-hitch.
