I actually had more spare time on my hands than I thought and got the site up and running with all the old data and information that I could find on the web. I started this when I found the old websites for the Downeaster yachts had disappeared. If you are a Downeaster owner and have any information not on here, I would love to have you submit it to me, or point me in its direction. I hope the website to be a comprehensive resource for owners of any of the Downeaster yachts. I have used the Internet Archive to recover some of the information from the old websites that people had submitted over the years and have posted here under “Old Website Information”. If you are the owner of one of these old articles, and do not wish it to be listed here, let me know and I will remove it. Conversely, if you are the owner and wish to resubmit it in complete form with photos I would be very happy to have you do so.
I have included a forum on the site here. I know that there is another Downeaster forum at http://downeasteryachts.yuku.com/directory. However, it seems to be mostly unused anymore. I posted on there a few weeks ago, and I noticed someone else had posted a question recently. Neither post has been replied to as of this morning. It leads me to think that the site is mostly dead. I don’t intend to step on anyones toes that has been maintaining the forum. I thought that a forum integrated into the website where this information is being consolidated might generate more activity by other owners of these boats.
One of my goals here is to have this not be so much my website as […]
