What does a "master thread" do?
We noticed, a few weeks ago, that there seem to be quite a few threads on book reviews or lists of books to own.

 

[Christian Williams]

A "master thread" is a very complete and useful thread on a frequent topic, often consolidating information over many years.

The "best" thread can be hard to find, maybe a list will help.

To nominate a master thread, just add it here. There can be more than one master thread on a topic.

I don't know how useful this list will be, but every time a member encounters a stuck zipper it would be nice to refer them to "Zipper Repair" (above), instead of starting the same information flow all over again from scratch.

This thread (Master Threads) will soon lose its notation as a New Post, and for that reason I have added it to my own recurring signature line so at least I can find it.

A thread that I found particularly helpful is about the chain plates and that aluminum underdeck block on many of our Ericson built boats, including the Olson 911 and Olson 34 https://ericsonyachts.org/ie/threads/chain-plate-inspection-of-e34.12422/
