Jordan and Robert,
I think I will follow your suggestion Robert and add a section to my website.
The conundrum in all of this is that, if you took away everything on the
Swift that was learned from the Aussies, there wouldn't be a lot left. We're
expecting big things from these guys.
On the other hand, they know almost nothing about sailing skiffs. We need
to urge every Yank to show some compassion by taking an Aussie under his wing
and sharing some wisdom (some of them don't even know what a skiff is).
Jordan and Steve, there's no need to thank us mates! It's just what we do.
Bram

Bram, one more thing you might think of is to add a "DON'T DO THIS" link
where you explain some of your failed attempts. I've found that sometimes
knowing what not to do is more important than what to do. Only posting
what you currently feel is the best case and saying this is the rule,
forces the Canucs and Aussies to buck the trend and go their own way. If
you show them the things that you've discarded, they'll have a better idea
of what to do to take us farther forward.
