The virtual yacht club Yacht-L

Yacht-L is a virtual yacht club and a discussion list about sailing, yachting, cruising, racing, sail trimming, boat maintenance, rigging, stories about sailing, sail history sometimes, boat building and repair (although that subject is less popular than the subjects mentioned before this one) etcetera. Actually any subject having to do with sailing, the boat, the sailing areas, the pleasures of sailing and being in, on, around and busy with your boat, or the boat you are going to buy or are longing for. Participate by joining us; here is how to subscribe!

On this page you will find handy information about the discussion list Yacht-L and it provides links to the information. This page is maintained by one of the two co-owners of Yacht-L, Eppo R. Kooi. The other co-owner of Yacht-L is Jim Bradley. You will find our email-addresses at the bottom of this page. The co-owners are both active sailors of which you will find some evidence on the Yacht-L owners page.
There is also a page with the picture of temporary interest. It will be replaced after some time by another picture. At the moment you can see some information and pictures of the huge new sloop-rigged sailing yacht of Jim Clark, the founder and president of Netscape.
