Tutorial Video – How to Use the Boatbuilders’ Forum

[The Off Center Crew]

Here’s a brief tutorial video that shows how to navigate the basic layout of any forum.

If you’re not savvy to how to use and navigate a forum, not to worry, it’s easy to pick up once you know the structure and the purpose of the forum.

IMPORTANT: Speaking of “the point” of forums — as you post, keep in mind that your questions and answers provide valuable instruction for those who follow later, maybe years later, so try to keep your discussions within the relevant topic so your posts will help future builders. (i.e. a discussion on paint within the topic on installing the guards won’t be much help to those looking for help on paint next year). We’ve added a place for discussions on paint, and let us know if you think we should add to, or tweak, anything else to suit your needs as a builder.

How do I upload photos please. Tried the link in ‘meet the builders’ but no success.
Thanks.

[Steve Stone]

Hi John.  Looks like you’ve figured it out.  We show how to upload photos in the tour video above.  One note, please try to post your info and photos under the correct/corresponding topic so your info matches the topic at hand.

I have a question about the Off Center Skiff. Where would I ask?

[Sandy Lam]

Hi Wiley, we don’t have a forum for the Off Center Skiff, but perhaps you might find this video from an Off Center Harbor who built a skiff helpful. Leave a comment and Doug will be able to get back to you!

Hey all, just getting ready to dive into a shellback dinghy build. Are there any builders submitting info on it or maybe even a nutshell, they are similar aren’t they? Just smaller and less pointy.

[Doug Hermann]

Hi Geoffrey – the Forum is rather quiet. Not a lot of activity over the last couple of years. I suspect your build will mirror a lot of what has been encountered with the Oonagh. I’d jump in and just peruse the forum posts as you go along – match your progress with the Forum postings – I bet you will do great! There is a lot of good detail and information to pull from. Go for it!
