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.

Never owned a 30 but have sailed on lots of them. Great family boat and perfect for a couple. They made over 10,000 of them so there must be something good there.
