In case Geno Delamatia, the moderator of the Echo, misses this: All of the above, and more. I've been on this Echo for a couple of 3 yrs and just about every aspect of sailing has been covered, including the humorous side. Personally, I'm into racing, but would like to find a live aboard boat. Not that I ask for much, but I'd like that boat to be a competetive racing boat as well! --- PPoint 2.00 * Origin: 40 knots and you want the 1/2 Spinnaker?

I really need some feedback from those that have used ther programs that track simular information, i.e, what are the most useful features to include/not include. By profession, I am a computer programmer, and as a part-time hobby, I enjoy creating programs that are of interest to me! Anyone who wants to beta test the program can contact me via this echo, netmail to 1:112/2784, or via the internet at csirman@worldnet.att.net. ... This is a windows based program only, best suited for 486 or better with at least 12 megs of ram. Look forward to any and all comments.
