One thing you can be sure of Lachy is that the ALSA "lurkers" have been watching everything that has been going on, on this forum.

Another thing you can be sure of is that this forum is open, free (as in non exclusive) and extremely well regulated by Laurie the "Lord of Light". I think he is secretly using us as case studies for his doctorate of philosophy.

If one was to take the trouble to go through all the threads on the landyachying forum, he or she would find that ALSA has been asked, invited and virtually begged to communicate with the wider land sailing community via this forum over the more than last 12 months.

Cheers Cisco

I agree with you Cisco, on all the points but...
...just thought I would run something past you all (not just cisco of course ).


NAILS (if we use) was not planned as being directly associated with the Seabreeze community (not based here) and therefore information the group recieved would not be automatically posted here. This said, I have no control over the members of the group and no wish to exert any. They would be free to distribute info as they see fit. Why do this I hear you ask (or not).

As mentioned on Seabreeze before, we wish to influence and hear from ALSA (rather than make a new national association, I dont think anyone is a fan of that). Seeing as they only talk to (some) clubs thats what I guessed this needs to be. They dont want to recognise Seabreeze and therefore some degree of distancing NAILS from here may be required. Dont you just love politics

In any case, I hope this little project allows the many isolated landsailors around this country to stay up to date with the national association and gain a measure of influence over the direction landsailing takes in Australia. This and getting a good communication and social/support network going in parallel with Seabreeze.



Thanks Test Pilot. Good name although Im not sure it describes the group and its purpose sufficiently. Its definately more fun than NAILS though

You're a legend Lachlan!! Well done!
