    Pre-survey boat inspection poll

    Recently I inspected a boat for a fellow forum member. I was glad to do it and it got me thinking about the feasibility of offering this service outside of this forum. The idea is provide more info than a broker might post on YW including things a broker may choose not to post. It would give...

    Rigging Failure Poll

    As I am redoing the rigging on my 1979 Independence 31, I am wondering what the real life rigging failures people have experienced are. I view failures in two basic categories of: 1) those whose discovery is catastrophic via failure of the part in use and; 2) the more preferred method...
