Who all has a website about their boat?

[Maine Sail]

If you want a good quality site, you need someone that is getting paid for it.

Hermit,

With all due respect this is just not true. I pay 100% for my site so other boaters can use it. I ask for nothing in return other than to know that I may have helped someone learn to do something for which they might have otherwise paid to have done.

Some of us are not reimbursed for our contributions to the sailing community and we can still have decent sites that people get stuff out of for free with ZERO ads..

You also might want to check out the Plastic Classic forums all paid for, out of pocket, by Tim Lackey. There is no advertising on that forum..

I have quite an extensive web site on my Endeavour 32 at:

most of what I have done to my boat is documented.

Roger,

Welcome to the forums! I got your email but have not had a chance to sit down and reply from my desk..

Touche. Your site is very helpful and has already helped me in my projects with my boat and it didn't cost me anything.
But I never would have found your site without SBO.
If you have noticed people's comments about you and your site, you will see that you are a rare bird. I was speaking in generalities, I should have qualified my statements with 'most'.
Indeed I did not qualify that statement you quoted, however the rest of my statements are copiously qualified with comments like 'it's real tough to do a website...' etc.

If there are millions of great sites out there that have no revenue source, I am not seeing them(in large quantities). I have to respectfully disagree, most sites are trying to generate revenue. I don't have a problem with it unless they are doing something malicious or annoying.
