YF update...

Hi all,

I need to apologize... I've fallen behind with feature reviews over the past 6 weeks. I try to publish 2-3 reviews a month, but we've had to finish up the other aspects of YF, such as the Flash header, the new video feature and organizing the Member's Rewards program. I believe everything is coming together nicely.

We've got 4 features in the works and I'll try to take 3 of them live before the end of the month. If I appear to be MIA... I'm really just busy looking for objects to hurl at my keyboard. I've found that a hacky-sack works well and limits casualties.

Here's what's upcoming...

1. Hargrave's 105' Dream: This was actually finished a couple of weeks ago, but I have not had time to upload it.

2. Africat's 42' Catamaran: This is the smallest yacht we've ever covered, but because it is such an outstanding product... size doesn't matter. (right girls?)

3. Neptunus 56' Flybridge: This company should receive a lot more exposure. Although they are production boats, everything about them approaches custom, luxury-yacht levels.

4. Westport's 164' Vango: Because we publish more images and editorial than the magazines, I have chosen to wait until more images are available so we can do a feature worthy of the new 164'.

And finally, I want to thank everyone for keeping the momentum going, helping other members and bringing new info to YF.

One down, three to go. Hargrave is up!

A little slow around here, so I'll be the first to post... just finished uploading over 120 logos to accompany the history pages (linked from the front page). Uploading took all day, but getting the logos has taken weeks! Still a few stragglers, but I'm on it!

Hope everyone's having a good week.

I feel your pain Lars, but it's time well spent. I lost a drive a few months ago and had to re-build from scratch. Upgrading to your new PowerBook will take some time initially, but it will save you a LOT more time in the long run. Do yourself another favor... buy a back-up drive or external storage device. Failures happen!

BTW... I sent Gary the renderings today. He was looking for 3-D files, but I think he can do this with 2-D. You may need to get some dimensions to him. He's going to get back to me in a couple of days with an estimate.

Uh oh... major blunder! I just corrected that Kevin. Good catch!

Can you imagine... a 420' cat?

BTW... what is the world's largest cat? Anyone know?

The world's largest sailing cat is being built by Derecktor...

But I'm curious... what is the largest, private power catamaran? (excluding multi-hull, passenger & ferry types from Austal and such). The first one that jumps to mind is Winter’s 86’ Pacific Harmony…

If you include wavepiercers, the 110’ Spirit may be the largest…?

Two down. One more to go. Neptunus is up! The Member's Rewards program is almost ready to go too. Hopefully by the end of the month. Still finishing some details. I'm taking off to go flying today. BTW, I found a way to get a FREE heli ride. Just pretend you can't swim...
