Stus-List Need to dispose of my used 29 Mk 1 sails

[Ian Matthew via CnC-List]

I have some racing sails which are no longer competitive but might be of
use to someone.
They are Quantum Kevlar sails.  Mainsail, genoa (155%) and Jib (100%). Free
to the first response - just pay shipping from San Francisco.
I won lots of hard races with these sails but they are tired. I replaced
them with Quantum fusion M 3000 which I have found superb within my budget.

Stus-List Deceitful USCG Documentation Renewal Company

[RANDY via CnC-List]

Listers - fair warning - I got deceived today into paying 3X what I needed to 
for USCG documentation renewal. I received a letter via USPS from an entity 
named "U.S. Vessel Documentation", domain name uscgdocumentation.us, titled 
"Vessel Renewal Courtesy Notice". As I'm sure the sender intended, I mistook 
the letter as being from the United States Coast Guard National Vessel 
Documentation Center, reminding me to renew my Certificate of Documentation. 
It's been on my mind that my CoD is expiring soon, and I've been expecting a 
reminder. 

So I went to uscgdocumentation.us, filled out the renewal form, and submitted 
it. I was surprised to see the price was $75 - I'd remembered the renewal cost 
being ~$25 - but I thought "well, the Coast Guard must have raised their 
prices", and submitted the form anyway, with my credit card information. 

Somehow sometime after doing that, I noticed fine print at the very bottom of 
uscgdocumentation.us web pages, where you wouldn't even normally scroll or 
look, saying "U.S. Vessel Documentation is NOT the U.S. Coast Guard or the 
National Vessel Documentation Center; we are a third party agency that handles 
USCG Documentation processing to NVDC." 

So then I went to the real USCG NVDC website, 
https://www.uscg.mil/nvdc/default.asp, where I applied for an exchange of the 
CoD last year when I bought Grenadine (since she was previously 
USCG-documented), and confirmed their renewal fee is only $26 and you can file 
for renewal online right there. 

At that point I realized I'd been had, and immediately requested cancellation 
of my renewal order from that company, in writing, and in voice mail, and filed 
a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the USGC NVDC about "U.S. 
Vessel Documentation", and contacted my credit card company to block the charge 
from this merchant. I'm now in the process of posting about this experience on 
sailing-related forums I've visited. 

If you own a USCG-documented vessel, *DO NOT* do business through the deceitful 
company uscgdocumentation.us, unless you don't mind paying 3X the cost of 
something you could do directly though https://www.uscg.mil/nvdc/default.asp . 
These "U.S. Vessel Documentation" people are predatory. 

I've posted the letter I received, and an email exchange I had with this 
company, at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTeU1HcDZKTWdiQzA .

sell/give away, and other stuff I will need!

Boatlist.org - Used sailboat stuff 
Hey all, 
I've long felt that there was a need in the sailing community for a place for 
sailors to exchange used gear.  So much of what we end up buying new is very 
expensive (and even wasteful) when you consider how much lightly used sailboat 
gear is out there that's not being utilized.
My idea is for a simple website where sailors can post their used sailboat gear 
and items for sale for free.

I just made my site live at www.boatlist.org.
I'm curious to hear what you all think of it.  I'd love to hear suggestions for 
improvements, ideas for how to get the word out to other sailors, etc...  And 
heck if you have any used stuff to sell please post it!  
I'm happy to answer any questions.  Contact me through the form on the website, 
or here at my email.  Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing any 
thoughts.

Stus-List Boatlist.org - Used sailboat stuff

[Ryan Doyle via CnC-List]

Hey all,

I've long felt that there was a need in the sailing community for a place
for sailors to exchange used gear.  So much of what we end up buying new is
very expensive (and even wasteful) when you consider how much lightly used
sailboat gear is out there that's not being utilized.

My idea is for a simple website where sailors can post their used sailboat
gear and items for sale for free.

I just made my site live at www.boatlist.org.

I'm curious to hear what you all think of it.  I'd love to hear suggestions
for improvements, ideas for how to get the word out to other sailors,
etc...  And heck if you have any used stuff to sell please post it!

I'm happy to answer any questions.  Contact me through the form on the
website, or here at my email.  Thanks in advance and I look forward to
hearing any thoughts.
