Many thanks to my new friends at Messing-About.com,which I profiled a little while back. They immediately linked to my blog here upon request and sent a good number of visitors my way. Folks,I hope you enjoyed it and return again!
I do internet strategy stuff for a living and we often tell clients not to do open web forums because they are tough to make work well. Well,kudos to these folks for pulling it off. They have a few active forums with some interesting threads,e.g.,this one on centerboard design. People are posting real design drawings here,so it seems a seriously useful resource with members who know of what they speak.
While I am here,I noticed another thread asking about information on small boat rigs. I’ll pile on a recommendation a few others posted:103 Sailing Rigs –“Straight Talk”
by Phil Bolger. It is an extremely useful run-through of just about any rig you can imagine,as well as many you never could! It is Bolger after all. Each profile is a page or two worth of the pluses and minuses of each,along with enough history to give you a sense of how it is used. I found it indispensable on my current design project for figuring out the optimal rig.
