I had some useful weather forecast sites which I lost when my PC "blew up". I know that I should have dumped the addresses. I would welcome information on weather sites for GB. Thanks in advance.

presumably you can find the BBC weather pages and the met office
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/
These are two really good more detailed ones
windguru

gb wind map/xc weather
http://www.xcweather.co.uk/
there are numerous aviation sites but they focus on the 2-4 hours ahead and worry about wind speed/direction at varying hieghts, rather than surface conditions for the next couple of days. the US 21st operational weather squadron have a good site that shows surface pressure charts
http://ows.public.sembach.af.mil/
finally, log onto www.grib.us and download their free software. If you create a couple of areas (e.g. north atlantic) you can get a 5 day projection of the pressure systems developing. Gives good context to the local predictions and helps your understanding of the short term forecasts

Try Mark Stronge's UK Weather Site works well for me with a good range of sousrces all in one place.

Thanks everyone. A day sail tomorrow across to Piel Island looks OK but a sail upto Whitehaven on Friday looks a bit iffy to a fair weather sailor like me.
