Two new forums for your typing pleasure:

1. Engines and Propulsion As you requested, it is meant to cover diesel, Atomic 4, and outboard questions, as well as related drive train issues.

2. Parts Search Nobody asked for this but we need it. This is for folks looking for rare or fabricated parts for old boats. Like a someone who needs a mast for Mac 26S, or an emergency tiller for a Hunter Cherubini 30. It is not for listing parts for sale. And it's not for common, commodity-type chandlery parts. Anyway, we'll see how it works.

You can find them both in the Forums Menu under Shared Forums.

Re: New forums online now

I've just posted a diesel engine query on the Engines and Propulsion forum.

Phil, great idea. With engine and propulsion models often used by different boat builders, this new forum will be a better clearing house than Ask All Sailors.

We had a recipe database back in, when was it? 1958, maybe. :) It got off to a roaring start and was a ghost town in 30 days. I'm not sure the topic has enough legs to be a forum.

Phil, you are amazing. Just for that I am going to order a new Harken Furler from the store. Wait a minute, was that why you did it?! You are just after my money? Nah, that would never occur to our favorite webmaster. :)
