SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE ESTABLISHED FOR OMYCsailing
A social networking site has now been established at http://omycsailing.ning.com
This will be a great complementary site to this official website. In effect, the new networking site will be managed by all of you, now giving you the possibility of sharing photo, video, news and blogs, while also initiate and participate in discussions relevant to our activities out of Ocean Marina, many things that our official website cannot cater for.
Initially, I would recommend the following:
- Let us try to keep the new site focused on OMYCsailing's own activities. Therefore the items you may post or discuss should be of specific relevance to our activities here. When inviting new members, concentrate on persons who are stakeholders in OMYCsailing's activities. There are other social networks that have a broader scope, for instance SailingThailand, which you can use if you wish to share information with sailors in other parts of Thailand.
- Keep your postings on the new site concise and specific. Do not write endless stories, nor upload your entire albums of photo. Chose your masterpieces. However do contribute regularly. It would be particularly useful if you can initiate and participate in discussions on how to improve our sailing here at OMYC and well as how to improve our new website.
OMR RATINGS
Please note that the ratings section of the site has been amended
to include the Thailand OMR ratings for Ocean Multihulls. By clicking
on the link you will get the spreadsheet including all the rated boats in
Thailand.
You can yourself check the influence of crew weight on the ratings by
entering a declared crew weight in the WCD column.
This spreadsheet will be updated very regularly as boats are continuously
being re-rated when new sails etc. are received, so visit the site often.
SAILING THAILAND
A sailing network site called Thailand Sailing has been established on the
initiative of Andaman Sea Club in Phuket. The intent was to create a
site for the exchange of ideas, information, photos and videos, as
well as be a forum for debates related to all sailing matters in Thailand.
Many of you have signed up and we have established a link to the site on the
menu on the left.
Do sign up and visit the site regularly.
