Very cool, Paul.

Now, let's see people use it productively (and sensibly)!

That said, the F16 website's Google PageRank is pretty miserable at the moment, so we'll be very unattractive to spammers for the time being. On that subject, if you have your own webpage, please help to improve Google's opinion of us by linking to http://www.formula16.org

What is worse is that when I google F-16 catamaran or Formula 16 catamaran, I only get the former site at geocities.com, and it is clear that site has not been updated since December of 2005, so it makes look like the class is extinct. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Can you put a forwarding message on that site, to send people to the new site? And eventually eliminate the old site? And can't you notify the Google people about the change?

Adding a forwarding message would certainly be a good move, and would help with the Page Rank of the new site. The Google people can't/won't do anything here.

If anyone who has links to the old Geocities address changes them to the new formula 16 site address, this will help promote the new site over the old site in Google's mind.

One such place is the welcome message in this forum - Wouter, could you edit that post?

All that would be needed is a re-direct in the old website.

I'll look into redirecting the visitors from the old page to the new.

Mary,

Thanks for making the change to the website URL in that post. Could I trouble you to also change the contact address to formula16class@formula16.org ? Sorry for not spotting this the first time round...

And while I'm at it *bump*. Anyone brave enough to make the first move on the wiki? I've locked down the front page, so email me if you want stuff adding there, otherwise you're all free to sign-up and start editing.

This would be a really good place to create rigging and tuning guides for F16s. Next time I take the Blade somewhere, I'll photograph the process of rigging single-handed and do a write-up. But there's no need to wait for me...

Wouter - any chance you could take a look at the old Geocities site? I don't mind making the change if you want to just send me login details.

Paul

Old geocities site change shouldn't be a problem, it just slipped my mind sorry.

I'm in the process of preparing some stuff for the wiki. Will hopefully post shortly.

Now we are getting somewhere <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think that for newbies like me most interesting part would be boat tuning, this could really speed up the learning. Of course this information is already buried here in forums and can be found, but it's not always clear if you have found something worth of trying. Having a F16 tuning faq might make this forum less active though, because there is no point of asking if your questions are already answered <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Don't worry about that. In sailing there is no such thing as having all questions answered. Every answer leads to more questions. It goes on forever. And even the basics of tuning a specific boat might change tomorrow or be different depending on who is presenting them. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
