About Noonsite
Noonsite began in 2000 as a culmination of Jimmy Cornell's books (World Cruising Handbook and World Cruising Routes) and his work on the global cruising scene for the last quarter of a century. It has since grown extensively, in the main thanks to constant updates and cruising reports from sailors using the site and regular contributions from our regional editors.
Noonsite's main objective is to provide cruising sailors with comprehensive information regarding essential marine facilities in any port visited by yachts, worldwide.

Sue Richards: Site Editor Sue joined noonsite in 2008. Sue has been cruising since small, beginning with the North Sea, UK and Northern France. As an adult she realised warmer seas were more her style so moved south to the Mediterranean, including several years hopping back and forth to the Caribbean, a trip up the east coast of the States to Nova Scotia and then through the Panama Canal to Tonga. Now a mum with 2 small children, time on the water has been difficult to find in recent years. Sue’s favourite cruising destination is the Greek Islands. |

Val Ellis: Site Researcher Val has been with noonsite since it began in 2000. Val’s sailing career started with dinghy racing on inland waters and quickly expanded to include cruising in ‘big boats’. Having worked through the various RYA courses, both theory and practical, she has embarked on many sailing adventures with her all women crew. After spending several years, chartering boats at locations all around the U.K., Ireland, France and Greece, Val took the plunge and bought a boat of her own. She has had her current 30ft Verl, for the last 15 years and especially enjoys the challenge of coastal sailing around the rocks of Northern Brittany. |
