Stu, I would be delighted to help out with the forums or any other project that makes your life easier and keeps the C&C site going strong. To answer previous inquiries, it would mainly be a hobby site. But, extra cash here and there to pay for sails/gear would be nice :)

We are having some mechanical problems with our Yanmar 2GMF. I am hoping for some advice. First admission: other than changing oil, we have not been too good with our diesel. The boat has also not had much use this summer (about 5x total). The hull is scummy, but not encrusted, so we know t

Edd, I'm with Ian on this. There seems to something for every type of sailing and every geography out there right now, so it's not clear that there's a huge latent demand for new sailing websites. That said, if you're looking to build something as a hobby, knock yourself out and have fun with it

Martin, You want Cruiser's Forum. Like any list, it's got its share of crankpots and armchair sailors, but overall it's a fabulous resource for cruisers. Way better, imho, than things like Sailnet. It also has incredible reach (social networking?) within the cruising community. For example, la

Cruising Anarchy is a kinder, gentler subset of Sailing Anarchy[?] with a lot of the content you are mentioning. I have seen you there on occasion and enjoyed your contributions. It has settled down considerably since a wealthy segment moved in, but usually that only means the girlie shots are high
