I'm with Rick on this, use the forums that already exist if possible. This one is great, and if you like Yahoo Groups, the oldest catamaran group on the net (started as the hobielist in April of 1994) is now (since July 2000) on "open class" list called beachcats. Hey! I just realized that April will be 10 year anniversary.

I've had a lot of people ask me why I don't have a catamaran forum on TheBeachcats.com, this is the reason. Lets stick together, how are we going to have massive arguments if everyone is scattered about?

This doesn't mean anything against local groups, having a private club/fleet forum/mailing list is a great way to keep communication going.

just my 2¢
