This list is great, and I too was not aware of the FB group. Since I am still searching for the right boat, and considering C&C amongst a few other favourites, I've joined several groups/forums/lists: Ericson, C&C, Nicholson, Westsail. Of them all, I'd say the Ericson Yacht Owner's forum is the best mix of ease of use and depth of content, since it is quite easy to search and post photos, and use tags to make your posts easier to find. Of course, there is an overhead to all of this, and sometimes the simplicity of a Mailman list is all you need, especially if bandwidth is limited. And with GMail, it's easy to create your own searchable archives.
