Hi all after all thoose years (since 1998) I quit...

Reason, getting stories and photos is getting harder and harder, as there are many places now to show them.
And people do not send me stuff anymore like in the past, now I had to hear off the new Raison design from another forum.... in hte past I was one of first to hear it, get pictures emailed etc..
Sailors who did the MT visited and psoted on the forum, but latest yrs there is only a very few who do that.

So the site does not get news, the forum a bit out of date, and it cost me 100 Euro a yr to run the forum/website on a decent server.... and paypal normally paid for that, even more then I needed, but my saldo on that one is now not enough to pay for it anymore....

In all a downgoing spiral... good thing is, the mini now is getting a bit of regular press. Not much, but 99% more then 10 yrs ago.... the CM has a website, races have, sailors have, etc etc.

That all makes my site only interesting out of historical point...

See yah, it was fun...

Leov,

Hi Leo,

I can understand that you are a bit tired of carrying up your site and the forum. But it is definitely the best place to start if one is interested in minis. So I wouldn't mind if you got some ads on your site to cover your costs. Please keep it alive and post an advice on the class web site that you need help for news , pictures and texts.

Thanks for all your work

Latest update;

3 guys made a donation, some guys (2) offered server space. Had other things on my mind, and I had still half the money in Paypal, so thanks to the 3 guys I paid for another year...
