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. (Also posted on PBO Forum) |

I guess it could be really slow to use? But there again the whole web site is slow anyways...
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Yep, I'd be up for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Yes, as an owner of a steel boat I'd go for that! Rust never sleeps! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
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 I rust need to buy some more paint Steel away for the weekend Any more? |
||||||||

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.... |

I started My Own Forum. In no time at all. I filled My Own PM box. No Replies. To Posts. Oh! Cept one. He said He didn't understand the Opening Post. Tosser! |

"Such a nice environment to be inside" Correct! ![]() Tom |

Are you familiar with "Wooden Ships" by CSN&Y? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

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? |
