New Australian website & forum

[alanl]

Absolutely in no way a competitor to this excellent Sailnet Community forum - the new Australian site aims to help boatowners gain knowledge about local materials, suppliers and techniques. It handles just about all aspects of repair and maintenance.

Membership is free. Sailnet members are especially welcome. I have been a members and contributor here for some time and hope to have your comments and input "down under"

Handymariner website & forum http://www.handymariner.com.au/

Looks like a pretty cool website, I'll have to check it out in depth later.

Thanks Gentlemen

I was a bit nervous thinking you might perceive Handymariner as some kind of competition (like one local boating magazine) and I am delighted to see this is not so. The input from Sailnet Community members has been of great help to me as well as a regular source of interest and I sincerely encourage exchange of ideas and boating solutions between the two forums.

Best wishes

Nah, HandyMariner is much more narrowly focussed from what I can see. Looks like a good resource to have when the less technically adept sailors need information regarding more complicated repairs and such.
