I have added another column
in the boats section, titled "Media &
Specification Sheets". Thirty Five of the 159 boat owners that have registered
their hulls in the Owner's Diectory have completed
this
easy form I have on the website. After an owner fills out the form,
that info is sent to me and I compile it into a simple, one page, 'universal
sheet' that event promoters can use for Media and Announcer use. Please
fill one out if you have a boat and have not done so. After you have filled
out the form, feel free to
email
me a photo of your race boat that you want used on your page. (I have
had problems getting these forms sent in from the server in the past, so
if you filled one out and your page is not posted, please refill out the
form).

A new
section is now open on the site. I'm calling it, "Viewers Photo Albums".
Dennis Broudeau emailed in some nice photos from 2 past Canadian regattas
to use as "Photo from a Moment", but it got me thinking there is a bunch
of you out there who have historical photographs sitting in a photo album,
in some closet, I bet. Consider scanning some of the best and/or most interesting
ones and sharing 'em with all of us.
