Am I in the right place? I have an older 28 " sail boat and hope I
can find a little info.

I hope to be "living" on it for a few weeks come spring.

Ask away!

I suggest you post some information and photos about your boat (don't attach
them here but put them on Flicker or a similar site and provide links) and
ask specific questions.

Some of the most active members of this group don't actually have boats but
just use this as a place to live out their fantasies and make cutting
remarks about people they envy. You'll get better responses if you can
demonstrate that you are a real person with a real boat.

Perhaps you should follow your own advice. The group's called
rec.boats.CRUISING. You don't cruise, or it would appear so from your
postings. You seem to mostly post about work boats you've designed. Boring!

I did, indeed, miss it. I stand corrected.

Is that an apology for being a condesending ass?
Doubtful

Apology accepted.

BTW, I just a few minutes ago updated the page to include my most recent
piece about my late fall cruise last year in some fairly brisk conditions.

What a warm and friendly greeting for a newcomer! Is there a written
test he has to pass before he's good enough to inhabit YOUR newsgroup?

Hit a nerve did I?

It is a warm welcome, even if he is as captain.montreal says. Everyone is
"welcome" in a place you can't keep anyone out of except with a killfile.
I'm just suggesting how he can get better advice and be taken more
seriously. JG's advice is good too. If he looks around at the old posts, I
imagine he'll put you in his killfile as well.
