Back in the 1990s, Cruising World magazine had a very active and amazing forum frequented by some of the best and most interesting sailors in the world. As the publishing industry changed in the 2000s they made some unpopular changes to their forum and we ended up hosting it on their preferred software platform, renamed the Cruising Sailors Bulletin Board.
Eventually, that platform was abandoned by its developer and the forum waned due to technical obsolescence and the quirkiness of the forum layout.
This weekend we moved the old forum (and just a little of its content) into a shiny new SBO forum called Cruising Sailors. It's still frequented by some very cool people and amazing sailors. We hope some/most/all of them will make the conversion over to this software.
The old forum is still online as a read-only archive and is always worth browsing.
The Cruising Sailors Forum will be for experienced sailors and offshore cruising. Historically, the forum has allowed content of all kinds, not all sailing related. We will continue to honor that guideline.
It will probably take people a few days to look around and get their logins worked out, but stop by the forum and say hello. https://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?forums/cruising-sailors.172/
