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.

Boat for sale

Posted By DRFerron

Re: Boat for sale

Boatpoker, the forum has a classified section with a sub-forum for boats. You meet the membership time and post count requirements but the boat can't be for sale for more than $5K.

Re: I can't heave to

When we had a tiller we centered it (or put it in whatever position was necessary), threaded a line through a metal eye attached to it and attached each end of the line to a stern cleat.

Ha! I think that was in response to me reporting Jeff for not putting his updates in the appropriate forum (knowing that he sees reported messages). :)

Re: Where are the younger people?

I don't buy the "too expensive" part of this argument no matter what the age. Who says that you must buy a boat to sail?

Both sail clubs that I belong to cost less than $40/year to be a member....

Re: Where are the younger people?

It's just as likely that it is not going to be the other way. But, we get that kids aren't for you. How about a happy post? :) We like to hear about what's going right with your sailing, too.

Do you have the option to go to another marina? Maybe do some dockwalking and scope out a different atmosphere?

It sounds like you just chose the wrong place to land. Nothing says that you have to...

Gary, now would be a good time to start a cauldron of kahlua. You'll soon be with a new crop of people who have not sampled your stock. (GREAT with hot chocolate.)
