I have a shoulder opp. in three weeks and will be layed up for about 12 weeks. I enjoy the YBW forums and wonder if there are any other similar sites, where I might while away an hour or two.

Here are a couple - the first is the Tall Ships Sail Training Forum at www.gojabber.com - when you get there, just scroll down to 'Sports and Recreation', and then the Tall Ships Forum.
Its very quiet compared to here, but there are many interesting stories stacked up in the archives.

And here is the Cruising Sailor's Forum at http://www.cruisenews.net/forum/

And you could have a browse around the Small Boat Club at http://smallboatclub.proboards98.com/index.cgi

Good grief AndrewB . . .

That's a fairly comprehensive list. You forgot to include the BlueMoment forums though . . . was it something I said?

 

[mocruising]

Many thanks I don't think I will get bored.
