Message Of The Month
      #164452 - 10/10/2001 10:27

It’s lively, useful and occasionally just a bit saucy. They’re the ybw forums – the biggest in Europe- and we are keen to encourage our users’ urge to communicate.

With that in mind, each month the most outstanding and entertaining entry – as judged by ybw’s forum moderators - will win a Ray106e state-of-the-art hand-held VHF. For September, the winner was Peter Hunt’s ‘Dehumidifiers for winter storage.’ This simple message kicked off one and the longest and most interesting debates ybw has seen in a long time. It read…

‘I am planning to winter afloat in a Marina and with the luxury of power would like to run a dehumidifier. The problem is which one, how best to convert it to empty over the side, how many hours a day should it be on etc etc? Anyone with experience of having done this? Yachting press- how about an article?’

The whole thread can be seen at…

Peter, we’ll contact you soon. In the meantime, keep posting!

Well, I'll be..... Amazing what one finds when trawling through the archives... OK Dan, what happened to this great idea - a little prezzy for the best "post of the month"?

Gone alone with the person that achieved the thread that went over 100. There used to be prizes for that when the forum had a lot less members
