So some friends of mine are looking for a sailboat and recently I've been shopping for them. I stumbled upon the website bluewaterboats.org, have you guys all seen it? Pretty neat site! I noticed that the DE's were not on there, so I submitted it as a "suggestion" on the forum there. Perhaps if they choose to write a review of the DE some of the DE owners on this website can send in some images and articles. Also, it's just a fun website to browse! I am surprised it took me this many years of looking at boats online to find it...

Nice site.. I just briefly looked at it, but it seems like a nice resource. I will have to add it to the links page.

I reviewed the site (http://bluewaterboats.org/)and liked it too. 
I asked the editor to include Downeaters (see below) he responded that I should offer two paragraphs on the DE. Since I am a brand-new DE owner, yet to take possession, I suggest someone else write the entry.
See below.

Hi Rick,
thanks for the images. If you want to put down a couple of paragraphs to get the flavour of the boat (like Richard just did on the Southern Cross 39 for example), we'd be happy to publish it.
Cheers
