At long last we have finally gotten a new forum as a companion and support tool for the website. Althought the old one will be shut down so it may not get new posts, it will remailn a s a resource for folks all over the world.
There Paceship members both Newbies and Gurus help one another with tips and ideas to make their boat and sailing even better. Whether you are looking for information, some help with a repair or restoration project, some info on how to sail your particular Paceship model better give the new Paceship Forums a try! Just go to The New Paceship Forum and register.
Everyone (including non-members) are welcome to look about. Even if you are only a Paceship enthusiast and admirer (so far) and want to know more about these great boats and their vibrant community, take a peek!
Check the site for sailing and maintence tips that can relate to most any boat. Ultimately the forum will allow members to post pictures and more and even has a chat feature where we can have live online sessions amongst members!
We are still working on installing some of the fine points but the main part of the site is already to go!
Meet Hank Schut from Vancouver, British Columbia. So what's up with Hank? Well besides being one of the most prolific Paceship web Bloggers (known as a PLOGGER!) and a regular contributor with pictures and
information about his Paceship Chance 32/28...he also has one of the sweetest 32/28's we know of anywhere. .And it did not get there by mistake. Since 2009, Hanks has been slowly, meticulously restoring his boat and talking about it all along the way.
