Re: Stus-List Boatlist.org - used sailboat stuff
Yikes... sorry everyone... I did a digest reply there. Thanks very much Chuck. I'm glad you found the process of posting to be easy. I've been working on our search engine optimization and we're climbing up in search results. I'm also still streamlining the posting process on the back end, so please allow a few hours for things to go live on the site. You're 100% right that the thing we need the most at the moment is postings. So, if anyone has boat stuff or even boats they'd like to post, please submit through the boatlist.org site.

Re: Stus-List Boatlist.org - Used sailboat stuff
I just put a few items up on Ryan’s new used boat stuff list and I must say that the process was seamless and better yet, FREE! (I know how sensitive this list is with regards to the “F” word, so I only use it when absolutely necessary). He’s added some security widgets to the site to keep spam and email scammers away and has also added the option of paying using Paypal which is a big plus in my book! The one thing he really needs is items to list, so even if it only some old jib sheets, a funky old stove or all those partially disassembled autopilots you guys always say you want to get running one day, put them up on his site, even if you’re willing to give the stuff away (there’s that “F” word again..) For whatever reason possessed him to do so, Ryan doesn’t appear to have any way of making money at doing this (Sound familiar, Stu?) and is putting out all this effort from the kindness of his heart. With that said, post that old skyhook, list your used smoke-shifter, and make room in your closet at Ryan’s expense. Don’t wait til you take the cover off the boat because you’ll be already so busy doing projects that you won’t have time to post your old stuff.. Get busy, get rich, and turn your half empty cans of bottom paint into someone else’s barn find of the year! www.boatlist.org Cheers, Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 35 LF Padanaram, MA From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Ryan Doyle via CnC-List Sent: Friday, February 3, 2017 2:36 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Ryan Doyle <ryanpdo...@gmail.com> Subject: Stus-List Boatlist.org - Used sailboat stuff Hey all, I've long felt that there was a need in the sailing community for a place for sailors to exchange used gear. So much of what we end up buying new is very expensive (and even wasteful) when you consider how much lightly used sailboat gear is out there that's not being utilized. My idea is for a simple website where sailors can post their used sailboat gear and items for sale for free. I just made my site live at www.boatlist.org <http://www.boatlist.org> . I'm curious to hear what you all think of it. I'd love to hear suggestions for improvements, ideas for how to get the word out to other sailors, etc... And heck if you have any used stuff to sell please post it! I'm happy to answer any questions. Contact me through the form on the website, or here at my email. Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing any thoughts. Ryan (Former 1976 C 30 mki owner) 1983 Pearson 424 Ketch "Juniper" ___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.

Excellent idea!!! As a just bought an older boat, I will have stuff to sell/give away, and other stuff I will need!
