[#16881]

We're working on a new website in preparation for the Tybee 500 this year...we'll be testing some of it this weekend at the Tradewinds posting when we get opportunities (keep in mind that we're sailing - so there won't be any news from the water...we haven't worked out that technology yet - but I'll be damned if we aren't close with this new site). You can get to the new temporary home of the test site from the front of our main site or by going to here. It's not fully ready yet but hopefully will be informative.

Jake,

You might want to change the link's so they open a new browser window, otherwise you are loosing people from your site.

Thanks for the comments guys...the flikr thing is a test and I'm not sure how I like it. I need to get home and sit down with a broadband connection to see how I can customize things there. I don't like hosting photos off the website - and they have some pretty small limits on bandwidth so I'll probably look for something that I can host locally and integrate to the site.

well its all perspective Jake.

On saturday you worked on your website.... I went to Key West and drooled over M32's and TP52's.

No prob on the wordpress thing. There's a new version out apparently.

Jake, Looks good! Really enjoyed your race reports! Seems like you did darned well with that Williams guy! Sounds like a lot of fun. Even if it was "chilly" down there, it was 17 here Sunday. Keep up the great work!

NO DOUBT! I think it was John that shared this tidbit from his experience with Team Tommy Bahama. I will have graphics on the starboard side of the boom that say in bold letters "DON'T DO IT.", "JUST SAY NO!", or something like "OFFSHORE = BAD".

Ours just said, "Don't go there."

It didn't help.

Tad,

No doubt - great write up...I need to get Bonnie back to work on our site.

And for those without the link, it's www.velocitysailing.com

Kudos on the race summary. Being somewhat of a light air sailor myself, I can sympathize with racing in conditions of 20 knots or better. Definitely a steep learning curve to those conditions.

Forgot to check, but do you have your 2006 sailing schedule posted yet?

If not, I'll keep an eye out for ya'll at the Jensen Tybee 500 stopover...

Jay

waterbug:

I know we don't because we have yet to conduct a team meeting to decide on which regattas to attend. I can tell you that we probably wont make many Florida races. After that long drive I think I've had my share of Florida until May

Hey guys, thanks for the kudos. I just added a skeleton schedule of events that we plan to attend for 2006.

Jake,

The website [url= http://www.teamseacats.com/wordpress/ ] is on the money. I got a good feeling that the blue N20 will be looking great come Tybee time. I wish I was able to help, but it looks like I might just get in your way. I'll just head back to the gym now and keep starving myself for May.

Thanks again,

Frank

FYI: to anyone looking to overhaul a boat - I think Jake is putting on a clinic at the Seacats website.

Thanks Frank!

If any of you have bookmarked the temporary home of the test site at www.teamseacats.com/wordpress/ please note that it has moved to the main http://www.teamseacats.com/ directory. The boat work continues....

Jake, The web site is looking great! Very cool documentation of your work on the boat! WOW! Would you consider a link on thebeachcats.com? Would be great to have your work in the archives there! I got a good feeling about you and Frank this year! Keep up the great work!

Brian,

Thanks for the encouragment! By all means, link away anywhere you feel like it. Our hosting account was recently upgraded so we've got tons of bandwidth. I'll probably pull the site down tonight for, at most, an hour while I try to sort out my directory problem. It should be back later tonight.

Not to one-up jake... but we're planning on hosting high-def video interviews, starts, and finishes on our website. Updated every day (or night) during the tybee 500.

You Velocity Boys know I'll be watchin! Trey, I was wondering if you'd convinced Jake to go over your boat the way he has the blue N20? Jake, will you name her, or leave it at Sailmaxbiz?
