Anybody up for a new site

That is dedicated to Cal Sailboats? I just got my first sailboat, which is a 71' Cal 27...I searched the web for info but was not able to get much info. So, I was thinking of doing a simple site for Cal owners to chat, discuss and share...I know others tried but did not follow through. This would be a free site with no pop ups or other advertisements trying to sell something but a way for me and others to learn. If you think you would use the site, let me know. I have a few domains I would like to try but would like feedback first. Anthony.....recent married to Holly so my boat is named... Holly Day

We have a great forum for chatting and sharing Cal related information.....This yahoogroup! An online data repository with more storage space would be useful, but for sharing thoughts and ideas, this e-mail group is great.

Why not create a Cal 27 site with a link to this listserv? I was hit by the same bug after buying a Cal 28. Very little information anywhere. So I published a Cal 28 site with a link to this group, and with links to every other useful site I found. Cal 28 owners found it and told me of this site. No need to further dilute the discussions regarding Cals all over the net. Bruce Stirling Gangfurd Cal 28 - Hull 82 http://www.stirlinglaw.com/cal28 P.S. Here is photo of last weekend's run to San Diego Bay. Even with old sails, she still gets up and moves.

We started off as a Sailnet group but then Sailnet went through several deaths. My only gripe about Yahoo is very minor--my e-mail program makes it hard to delete portions of the message I'm replying to. Otherwise, there's no reason for another wholesale move and attendant loss of participants. We're already chatting, discussing, and sharing, right here, on the subject of Cal boats and Jensen Marine and sailing. Chris Campbell
