You're not wrong there. This is the first forum I've ever really got into, and encouraged by the friendly atmosphere I thought I'd dip my toe into a sailing one. YBW scuttlebutt to be precise. Not so much the friendly joshing of TM - the scuttlebutt thread on the RNLI is like world war 3. I'm expecting the death threats to start flying anytime soon over there.
Have a look at the one they call the Lounge then. The way it sometimes kicks off in there is unbelieveable.
