Description

Openboat is dedicated to the cruising of open boats in coastal or inland waters.

Run on behalf of the UK Dinghy Cruising Association, it provides a forum for discussion and the interchange of information and expertise on open boats and dinghies, cruising grounds, technical and safety matters related to dinghy cruising, supply of equipment suitable for such cruising, and a place to post information about rallies and passages organised by associations and individuals.

You don't have to be a member of the DCA to join - any dinghy cruiser, armchair, would-be or actual, is welcome. Newcomers are moderated while they test the waters. Drifting off topic is tolerated within reason. Consider it the equivalent of the sailing club bar!

Re: Hello
Hi Ed - I sold my last Cormorant when I got short of cash, not because I was fed up with it - a great boat, in my opinion. And when things looked up again, I
