Sailing Forums?
 
I am looking for some decent Sailing forums.

I have had "the bug" for a sailboat for as long as I can remember and
now, living within an hour and half of Lake Lanier in Georgia (big
lake, lots of sailboats on it) I am REALLY wanting to get one.

Thanks!

Stop Looking for forums and go down to the local sailing club instead.

I plan on it...however I can only get there on the weekends. Since my
job requires me to sit on a computer all day with a T3 access I
thought it would be nice to talk with like-minded folk while I work
the salt mines!

political one.

Please no political one! I am also an avid motorcyclist and all of my
favorite forums have turned into nothing more then political
forums...ugh.

Tom,

I was going to suggest that you go to the Sailnet.com - click
Discussion Lits, but I looked and there is no Lake Lanier list (not a
big surprise).

If you go to the LLSC site, you might find out something of value.

there's no sailing talk at a.s.a. Just idiots insulting each other.



Tom August 30th 04 05:19 PM

Trailersailor.com is a good one. Most of the focus is on trailerable
sailboats but there are quite a few on the forum with larger boats.

Another vote for TrailerSailor.com. If you're looking for a lot of
information, in particular about trailerable, more affordable boats (but not
necessarily small boats). I think there may even be a few members up your
way. In fact, I could swear there's a guy on our Precision forum up around
there.

Sailnet.com I find is good for larger boat, racing oriented discussion.

Newbies are very welcome at TrailerSailor.com

For mags, Sail is probably the best "all around" magazine. Good Old Boat is
fabulous. I don't care for the rest much, but read them all when there's
something on the cover of interesting.
