Content is what matters....and thats harder to generate than code. Plus you need to do it again the next week/month!

Support your class webmaster by volunteering to write content.

I must say the Laser class is great, it gives the information required by its members but isn't outstanding reflecting the number of Lasers sold. The members forum is inactive for a large class.

The RS one, is great, the format is the same across all the RS classes and is simple to navigate.

The GP14 site uses the same underlying software as the Lark site (which has superb quality images). The Phantom site is one of the few that is off-the-shelf CMS based (Joomla) - which is an interesting idea - is a busy and feature rich site.

For originality of layout and ease of use the merlin rocket is still my fave.

As always content is king.
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else
