As I understand it sailnet.com started out as a dot-com bubble stock and lost a bunch of money and is now operated and owned by different folks. They seem to do a good job now. There actually is an on-line store hosting this forum.
Not sure when 'sailnet.com' inc. started up but I bet you could google search it.
You crack me up linking a thread that I started to yours. Very funny!

I think Caleb got it pretty well right. I first joined Sailnet in 1999, so they were around back then, at least.
The original company went belly up in the aftermath of the dot-com crash (I forget exactly when that occurred -- early-mid-2000s, I think.) The current incarnation was purchased out of bankruptcy by a partnership that sponsors the Sailnet Forums and sells marine-products through the Sailnet.com store and Marine.com.

In Canada we do not talk history, too dangerous. Religion, politics, child brides, all ok but not history.
