| Discussion Forums Now Open! |
|
The ISC web-based discussion forums are now open!
If you have questions regarding membership in the club, regattas hosted by the club, question about one of the boats sailed
at ISC, etc. post them in the forums and we'll try to respond as quickly as possible. Just about any topic is fair game as long as it
is sailing related.
Also note that there are forums for For Sale,
Wanted,
Crew Wanted and
Wanting to Crew. These will supercede the HTML
pages and save me the time and hassle of posting ads myself (it's your job now ;-).
You will need to register to post to the forums (it's quick and pretty painless, I promise!) but anyone can browse or search the
forums anonymously. Please send any questions or feedback regarding the forums to
webmaster@indianapolissailing.org.
