Posts: 171 Tampa, FL | i'll agree that there are many much faster boats than hobie, nacra, and prindles. i'd like to see what one of those really light, fast, and thinly glassed cats would look like after 10 or 20 years of sailing up onto a beach. i beat the hell out of my prindle 16, andt it has held up extremely well. some of us just enjoy pulling up onto a quiet beach, having lunch, and then taking a few fast runs up and down the beach, and if you ask me, you can't beat one of these workhorses for doing just that. sailing is supposed to be fun, and not just competative. i bet i have just as much fun running up and down the beach against another hobie or prindle (nacra too) as anybody else in a race. | | | Re: How old are you?

Posts: 1,658 Florida Suncoast, Dunedin Caus... | I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else but when I tried to vote it said a vote had already come from this IP address. This is not the first time this has happened to me on this forum. No, I haven't turned this box on for about two weeks so no one else could have voted. Any ideas?

Keep up the INclusive rather than EXclusive attitude.

Posts: 15 sydney, Aust. | I have now been activily sailing for around 5 years, when I first joined my Cat club, there was one other teenager/person under 23. The club was run by dowdy old men, who did things the way they had always been done, there were probably three regular female sailors. The club looked horrible, and there was no social atmosphere.
Since then, there has been a quite revolution. We now have probably a third to a half of people under 30, the club is looking attractive, and inviting, women are nearly happy to spend time in there.
We have attracted new sailors of different skill levels.
The way we were able to do this was through participation, value adding to your club and membership.
Most young people today aren't afraid to pay for things, it just needs to be worth it. You need to constantly look at your club and see if it is doing the best for your members with the resourses availaible. People need to feel the club is not just for sailing.
I hope this all makes sence

Posts: 24 Annapolis, Maryland | Dear Catman, Your Ip issue may be this..... there is another "cat-lover" (or CatSailor Member) in your subnet. If your dialing into an ISP (Internet Service Provider), at the time of connection your PC is assigned IP (internet protocol) address. This address is assigned dynamicaly from the ISP. This allows the ISP to supply service to hundreds of users without having to purchase (and assign) a specific IP address to each and everyone of there users PC's.
Example: Yesterday you logged on to your ISP and received an IP address (dynamicaly) for your PC of 192.10.148.100, that is you IP address for that session. When you log off your ISP, that IP address goes back into the "DHCP IP pool". If I lived in you town and had the same ISP, I could log on right after you logged off and receive the same IP address - 192.10.148.100 - so if I logged on to "our ISP", logged on to CatSailor, voted from my assigned IP address, then I log off and you log in you may be using the same IP address..... and Mary dosen't want us to vote twice. Now if your at work and your IP address is "static" and you don't assign IP addresses via DHCP (dynamiclly), then someone is using you PC and their going to the CatSailor website and voting - CALL YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR AT ONCE - SECURITY BREACH! | | |
