Replace that picture on the home page, it's terrible and lets down the rest of the site. The horizon should be 'nearly' straight.

I dunno. The strong diagonal line the horizon creates across the page gives quite a striking effect. I think you can make a case for it... |

There's a typo on the "Introduction to.." page. The email
address at the bottom is misspelled. Other than that god work! |

Hello All,
Thanks for all the comments. Contrary to popular belief, It is I, Carl's better half who is responsible for the design of the new UKCRA website, with of course, Carl's input. Hope you all like the new site, it has taken ages to rebuild, and as you can see, there's still a long way to go. We're hoping to make it a really active site so welcome contributions. bigwavedave, I'm afraid we're going to have to agree to disagree on that photo, I think it's a blinding shot, the angles are dynamic and I love the perspective, with the water splashing in the foreground gives it a real sense of movement. In web design we generally don't use levels and plumb lines... 
As a matter of interest the photos will be changing regularly, if you have any photos you think would work, please send them in with permissions and I'm happy to credit. English Dave, thanks missed that one. Much of the information was harvested from the old site which had not been updated in years so If you find any errors, omissions, or just plain wrong information I am sure you will all bring it to my attention. Look forward to all your input. Edited by CatWebmistress |

Congrats
and many thanks for all your hard work .
How about a multihull only forum and ban folks who have nothing more constructive to say than discuss the merits of horizon angles in a photo |

Opinions were specifically requested. You can accept or reject them as you like, but its pretty dumb to complain if they are offered in response to the request... |

technical point- get the server set up so that entering Catamaran.co.uk doesn't return an error (unless you set up your browser to automatically add www. at the beginning). At the moment only www.catamaran.co.uk works. It should be fairly easy to do. Always, always make it as easy as possible to get to! Don't just say "oh, people should just add the www" or "people should configure their browsers"- you said the site was catamaran.co.uk, so http://catamaran.co.uk should be a valid address!
