    When I started to upload JR-related write-ups to the web, first to the Yahoo JR Group and later here, it was because I soon got tired of writing in the sand and having to write long answers to the same questions, over and over. This "Another write up" topic was just meant to be a place where JRA-members as well as not-members could find links to newly-written articles. I never meant it to be my place alone, but hoped that anyone would use the place and dump links to their new articles pretty often. The links may well point at new stuff written on your blogs as well (although I hate blogs - a story will be much better told when the writer knows the end of it,,,).

    Cheers, Arne

    On balance I think I agree with Annie about anyone's 'new writeups' being posted here. It would also help if posters would let me know of a new one by email lest I miss their post - then I can try to add them to the 'New articles' section on the Members' Home Page.

    Comprende what you say about vagrant Kiwis and videos - tough!

    Actually, I'm not sure that the new write-ups should go in a new thread.  It takes ages to search all the topics, but knowing we have several prolific contributors, if one is looking for new info, one can just go to this thread and scroll through it.

    BTW - pity we poor rural/mobile Kiwis.  You Tube just isn't possible for us because the download is so slow and my patience wears thin when I can watch 5 seconds and then have to wait 10 for the next sequence.  Gobbles up the MB, too!  But the first 5 seconds of Broremann were cool!

    I did, but deleted it just after you'd read it, feeling I'd gone over the top. I was simply making the point that in my view, except perhaps in the Yacht Club Bar, there's a need to avoid humour and waxing lyrical in topic headings. Use a title that explains what the topic is (supposed to be) about, and start a new one if your post in it is 'off topic', but check first that there isn't already ne you can add to. This will help people, in the future, find relevant stuff, without having to figure out what information topics may contain - important when we don't and can't yet have a good search engine in fora. Thanks.

    I have just seen that our Webmaster made exactly the suggestion some minutes ahead of me on another thread.  Therefore, if the above is now superfluous our Webmaster will remove it, and this!  jds

    It never ceases to amaze me the amount of good junk rig information that keeps arriving on the web site.  I would not wish to put a damper on anyone but I do offer one small suggestion.

    "Another Write Up" now covers a number of subjects.  It might be helpful if our prolific authors were to start new threads with appropriate subject titles or place new writing in exisiting appropriate threads.

    If necessary I am sure that the Webmaster or Chairman would offer advice as to where to place specific information

    However, keep it coming!

    Arne,
    I've just finished editing issue 60 of the JRA magazine. It's bursting at the seams, or I'd hold it back to add this in. Instead, I've started up my folder for "material for issue 61", and these two files are early entries into it.

    Arne,
    There seems to be a fault in the system. I can't make the link work in this forum, but the document is certainly there, and in the right place, and the link works on your page.  I'll send a message to WA support.

    Stavanger, Sunday

    The autumn is back, with rather cold rain, and the first snow can be spotted in the mountains far to the east of us, so I have started the keyboard captain season here. Now I have finally finished and uploaded Part 2 of ...

    A white sail for Edmond Dantes, part 2

    to "my" page here (bottom of Letters section). This tells about the rigging and testing of the sail. It consists mostly of photos with a few comments in between. No great prose.

    Cheers, Arne

    PS: For some reason I could not make the link to the PDF file work (try yourself on "A white sail...) so I had to make a link to the file on my Dropbox folder under that "here" in red font. Does that work for you?

                        A white sail for Edmond Dantes

    Now I just uploaded another photo article (2.5MB, pdf format). It is about how a new white sail for Edmond Dantes was constructed, last month. You find the article on "my" page here and the file, sitting in the "Letters" section, is named...

    "20120704, A white sail for Edmond Dantes"

    It is a draft, but will have to do for now until I one day replace it with a proof-read version.

    Cheers, Arne

    PS 23rd July: Now I have uploaded the hopefully final version, after Annie Hill has proof-read the text for me. The file name is the same,  but with "Ver. 20120723" added.
