Rick / Grazz - how about announcing this resource to the dinghy sailing world through Y&Y, Dinghy sailing mag etc - there must be many people who have sailied these boats in the past and have history to add in. Could they just email in to NTOA if they are put off doing it directly. Another good 'excuse' to publicise 12s and maybe get a few more boats found and sailing.

I have just been having a dig around in the database and Graham has done a great job allowing the database to be listed by number or design.

This framework allows the members to create an on-line history of each boat in a collective fashion.

I encourage you all to reward Grahams efforts by making your own contribution for each boat that you have owned or sailed.

This will form a useful record for people entering the class when considering the purchase of 2nd hand boats.

Well done, a fabulous resource for the class. To make the best of it I guess its down to us all now to populate it . A bit of a trip down memory lane for some of us!

OK found it - I think it needs to be on the menu as well as in the 'latest' section.

How do you add pictures?

Philip (just call me the dumb user)

rick perkins · 27 Mar 2007, 09:22

To start with you need to have the picture on the internet ...

For example there is a picture of a 12 on this page ...

http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/photos/?s=64&PID=16592

Right mouse click on the picture and click properties.

In that window there will be an address ... in this case it is ...

http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/photos/national12/2007bloodymary2.jpg

Copy that and then past it in your post.

Here is the address.

http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/photos/national12/2007bloodymary2.jpg

if you then enclose this in these tages

The page then shows the below

OK - I understand - you need to host the images yourself... then link like this

Cheers, will update 3253 entry

You need to keep the boat more upright!
