2009-05-09 00:35:49 - Email other boats
Is it possible to email other boats directly rather than use the open chat line?

I don't think it is possible at present but that would be a great feature if it could be implemented.

At the moment this is not possible, we are trying to get a community site up with such options.
There is also the privacy issue of email.
A lot of us are on facebook as well and there is a Sailonline group there too. Until we have a own system up this might be a good way to go.
I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

Thanks for reply, I understand the privacy issues. I was curious that in our profiles it says our email addresses will be be shown to all users unless we leave the email address field blank. So at this time it is not possible to see other user's email addresses?

If I click on your name in the left-hand column, your user profile appears. There your e-mail address is shown.

Cheers,
Philip (aboard Schakel)

To clarify: In the user profile an email is only shown for users that have entered a "public email" in their profile.

OK thanks Philip and Kalle. So the email addresses will be visible if the person has been on the forum and chooses to be public but the address is not available via the SYC member ranking list.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
