I hesitate to get into the fray here, but I would say that I highly value the advice offered and gained through years of collective ownership of C&C yachts. However, I find it unfortunately ironic that the format we are using (i.e. listserv) to share and benefit from this valuable experience is not easily searchable. This has the effect of creating "knowledge shares" with extremely short half lives, to the point that they are disposable.
Given the volume of email (not a huge problem in my book, but a bit more discipline would be nice), it is impossible to retrieve useful information from the archives, which is why I would advocate a different tool, forum, format, etc. especially one that could handle photographs...as they say a thousand words, especially in technical matters. Also, one that is most importantly, searchable. That said, I am happy to be a relative noob on the list and very much appreciate everyone's willingness to offer advice and valuable time. I also appreciate the time and resources that go into managing the current system.
