Please read carefully: The Chat Feature will be turned back on sometime on Thursday 5/30/13. We received word last night that Norton/Symantec is 'whitelisting' Envolve Chat and that any false warning should disappear IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED AND UPDATED YOUR NORTON/SYMANTEC SOFTWARE with the latest virus definitions. (this is usually automatic) but your installation/implementation may be different.

It appear as though the company that provides our Chat feature recently updated their software and now one of their modules is being 'mis-classified' by Norton/Symantec and possible containing a virus. Until they have this resolved we have de-activaed chat. We've opened a support incident with Envolve and they will hopefully have this corrected soon.

We've added a new Video Section where you can post your favorite youtube videos. You do not need to post their 'embed' code. Just post a link to the video and we do the rest.

Since the maximum number of days a Classified can be posted without 'relisting' the ad (you'll get an expiration notice ahead of time) is 90 days - As of 6:15 PM EST 1/6/2013 all Classified Ads over 90 days old have been purged from the Sailnet Classifieds.

Every now and then Comcast gets a bug up their butt and starts blocking emails from our server. They have pattern recognition software to scan emails and if they see too many emails that look similar they just start blocking your server. I noticed they were blocking emails earlier today and I went to their website and completed a form that got us 'unblocked' so if you see a number of emails flowing through from Sailnet - this is the reason.

Pros:
Cons:

Very easy to sail, design permits operation very close to wind. Has large open cockpit with tiller. Excellent day or weekend sailer. Bad points are narrow very low cabin. Extreamely small head. Large unsupported deck over main cabin. Very good antique racer or just learning boat.

Looking at purchasing a 1986 Catalina 25 with inboard diesel, tiller steering. There doesn't seem to be too many available. Could anyone offer an opinion on inboard diesel? Would that be a good choice or should we stay away from? Thanks!

Pros:
Cons:

Excellent coastal cruiser with room for 4 adults. Flat top cabin allows maximum interior space with large even decks for sail handling underway and lounging at anchor. Mast is supported by a solid bulkhead below that separates the berth from the modest salon. Huge cockpit seats 6 comfortably. Powers well with 8HP outboards though 9.9 seems the norm. Large class association nationwide with spinnaker and non spinnaker division races year round.

Pros:
Cons:

The Cal 25 (Lapworth Design) is a good learning boat/club racer. This boat, with it's flat deck can easily be distinguished from the Cal 2-25 which has a traditional raised cabin. These boats were built with a hull made of solid roving, no chopped glass matting or coring. Though terrific boats, a prospecive buyer should carefully inspect the deck plywood for signs of rotting or decay. Other points to check are the mast pedestal and main support beam. These need to be inspected for compression or damage. As with all boats, talking with the seller will reveal a pattern of routine maintenance or neglect. For those interested, there are several active racing fleets, and a close-knit group of dedicated owners who converse regularly on the sailnet cal-list@sailnet.net.

The class web site (with lots of photos, technical help, and a for sale page) can be found at www.cal25.com.

Overall, the Cal 25 is a lot of boat for the money. There are always good condition boats available for a resonable price.
