Greeting, I am the owner of Whim, sail #264. As this will be my first season as an H20 owner, I most likely will have some questions. Who is a good resource for information?

Welcome to the site.
Your best contact on this site will be "Ask all Sailors." When you search that site, you will pull in every area of this site.
Many of your questions will be general to all boats of different makes and sizes so best to hit the whole crowd in one shot e.g. what is the best way to repair spider cracks on your deck ? The H20 owners will also be lurking in there as well looking for H20 specific information.

Welcome, Steve, to the SBO forum.
"Who is a good resource for information?"
This is an interesting query. Having identified yourself as a male Retired person, I am conjecturing that this is not your first rodeo.
If you feel your query is unique to your boat design (i.e. How many screws are holding down the rudder pintel on the Harbor 20), then posting a query in the specific boat labeled site may get a response. It also may go unnoticed.
If you want an answer about boat function, sailing technique, or just want to get the thrill of getting a response, then use the "ASK ALL SAILORS" forum. Many of us now have big cruising boats, but we owned smaller day-sailers in a former lifetime. You will get insight that you can apply to your boat challenge. For the most part, all of our boats are made up of parts assembled by a builder. The builder bought many of the same parts used by hundreds of builders on thousands of boats. Another way of stating this is that your boat design is not unique.
Post pictures on the site. Share your sailing questions and experiences. We are glad to see you.
