Hello,

Earlier this month I said...

Today I have completed the main part of the promised site re-build.

There should be more new content to come over the next month, as I work through more material accumulated over the last couple of years.

And now a further chunk of material has been uploaded.

At the last update I had managed to establish that #126 had exposed ballast and #154 had the new-style encapsulated ballast. Going through some old emails, I realise that the boat Feckless, #146, has exposed ballast, so we are closer to knowing when the new heavier enclosed ballast started to be fitted to SeaHawks. This information is now mentioned on a number of pages.

I recently realised that I didn't have a typical weight of a SeaHawk and trailer recorded on the site. A figure is now given in the "The Boat > Full Description" section on the Hull page.

In the Owners section there are now two Cabin Door variations shown and a page on how owners use both long and short tillers. At last, a Rudders page has been added, reporting on a lifting keel and a deeper fixed rudder. This latter page includes our first YouTube videos. The Hull Insignia page now has information about applying vinyl lettering and news of what I hope will become the Definitive SeaHawk Logo. (You may notice the subtle change in the background image on every page.)

There's been a number of images moved to a photo hosting site, to help reduce the space used in the free web space used at my ISP to host the main site. This should mean that the site can continue to grow in content without having to change its URL.

The result of all this may mean that there are some problems. However, the issue with the missing "Image of the Day" is not one of these. The host is reporting:

Customer CGI and MySQL services (69237) - UPDATE

22/11/2011 @ 20:26

This is an update to the Planned Maintenance post regarding the move of these servers between data centre suites. You can see the original post here: http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1321636601.htm

Unfortunately these services are still offline and are engineers are continuing to work on bringing them back into service. We'll get these back online as soon as possible but are unable to commit to a timescale at the moment.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,

Chris Parr

================================

I plan to revise the Trailers page in my next update. However, while you wait for that I am hoping that a lot of you will spend the winter months pulling together some photographs of your exploits last summer, and creating your own folder in the "My Boat" area of the forum.

Happy SeaHawking!
