The Union of Naval Architects

This group is intended as a collective of gh users who have a marine background.

Despite the name you do not have to be a Naval Architect to join. Whether you are a budding Optimist Sailor or Admiral of the Fleet please feel free to share and discuss any topics relevant to Grasshopper and the Maritime Industry.

Also acceptable "Off Topics" of conversation include "How will l'Hydroptere fair on her Transpacific Record attempt?" Or "Should Juan K have been appointed the VOR one design, or is he to arrogant to toe the line?".

However I would like to point out that the level of decorum should not descend to that of Sailing Anarchy and there will be no Fridays here!
