You may notice the website has indeed changed since yesterday; it was MUCH in need of a complete overhaul! Its about 85% finished right now, but we thought to launch it anyhow. Some of the new features will include: the ability to actually view news from the past rather than it disappearing forever; having your own Gravatar when you post a comment; more ability to search the older news by categories, tags and search function; a cleaner layout that should be more cross-browser compatible and COMING SOON – the all new Storm-Riders Classifieds and ‘confirmation from the man himself’ pending, an all-new Uncle Mike section. In the meantime, we’d appreciate your patience as we iron out the bugs!

PS. Before anyone asks… I do realise there’s a big picture of me on the frontpage! This will be changed very shortly to a different photo of a different sailor. The idea will be to have as many featured-photos of as many people I can find and it will rotate to a new image everytime you refresh the page (to be fair!). So don’t josh me about it just yet! Cheers. Sean.
