Steel Boat Forum?
      #1905508 - 24/06/2008 12:39

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
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.
