Steel Boat Forum?
|
I was wondering if there was any interest in a steel boat forum, Power and Sail, to discuss the peculiar charms of the genre? I am sure if there was enough interest our esteemed moderators could be persuaded to give it try.

I guess it could be really slow to use?
But there again the whole web site is slow anyways...

Yes, as an owner of a steel boat I'd go for that!

You could start by thinking up the sub-sections that make up such an illustrious forum. You already have one...
Rust never sleeps
Rust in peace

How about "Steel, Aluminium, Ferro and others"? Would be a great alternative forum.

Sounds sensible, although I don't know what "the others" would be! BaSically a very practical hands-on grouping.

"Others" allows creativity!
My apologies for missing wood. I wish there were more wooden boats made these days. Such a nice environment to be inside.

I think we should have a forum each, then we would not be arsed with stupid questions and tales about boats we have no interest in.

Fair enough. I was thinking about a bit of cement on alu action! etc...
Noting that some forums here are a little light, maybe a more encompassing one would be more active, and more interesting. "My hull is better because"... etc.
Standing on the shoulders of others (whilst occasionally having a small wee) and all that....

Wow, do you mean that the GB in your avatar is a proper one and not plastic?

Jeez, congratulations!
Pretty well maintained by the look of her.
...though such small image doesn't make her justice.
Care to show us more maybe?
