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:

Cal made the T/4 from 1972-74. Boat is 24' 1 1/2" LOA with a high aspect ratio rig (this was done to meet IOR rule changes). Stable boat, boom _very_ high so lots of headroom on deck. Stable boat (disp. 4000, ballast 2000), and tracks like a freight train. Tacks very nimbly. No storage to speak of, and no headroom belowdecks. I am very satisfied with the boat, she sails like a champ so I'm willing to be creative with storage. Most T/4's came with outboards, mine has been converted to inboard Diesel. The 1 cylinder Yanmar will push the boat along at 5 1/2 knots without any effort.

Pros:	High boom, solidly built, and has lasted well for over 3 decades.
Cons:	Lack of headroom below.

The Cal T/4 is stable, beamy, straightforward, and easy to sail. The purchase price was negotiated with the acquisition of the marina slip where she was moored in so it may not reflect market price in your area. I am 6’ and can stand at the tiller and not worry about the boom striking me in the head. The side berths are more than adequate; the forward “V” berth will not sleep a 6’ sailor. The cooler box drains into the bilge, where the keel attach bolts are exposed, leading to possible corrosion. The boat is heavy consequently it accelerates slower than a San Juan 24’. It probably isn’t going to win many races against more recent designs. On the other hand I haven’t seen another 24 footer that I would want instead of the T/4 that I own. I am 100% satisfied with my first sailboat.
