Hull 228 we've been working on fitting her to cruise next year. We are in Morro Bay (Central Coast of CA). Hoping to find any info about previous owner(s) and details of what others have done. If anyone has a way to contact Scott Carle (s/v Valkyr) that would be great also. It appears this site has slowed quite a bit and depending on a few things, we would love to help maintain it. (Noël, my wife, is a software engineer). Also if anyone has a way to contact Rick Stierer (Mundial's previous owner) His email doesn't exist anymore.

 

All the best,

 

Grant and Noël Frempter

I have found this forum useful many times and a lot of great folks and their DE's are in and out over time. Hope to sail my 32 (finally) down towards your Stoic this fall, made it to SF Bay in 2019 and then the pandemic arrived!

I'm the new owner of "Poppy" a 1975 DE38 located in San Carlos Mexico.  It's new name is "Stoic".

Trying to piece together it's history, I could be the 5th or 6th owner at this point.  Seems to have started life on the southern California coast and spent most of it's time in San Carlos, maybe down the coast to Costa Rica?

Looks like it might have been blown over, beached, or fell off it's stands on it's port side and took on some water.  Most of the teak exterior trim has been removed, otherwise looks original and neglected.

Any interesting stories would be helpful to get the full picture of it's life.  I'm planning on getting it back on the water soon after many years on the hard to enjoy with my boys William and Stewart.

Questions and updates will surely follow.

Thanks in advance!  Wes Simpson

I'm sorry to hear your are having issues, lets see what we can do to fix this.

Could you give me specific examples of links that are doing this so I can try and replicate it. I need to know the specific links and exactly what browser you are using.

Thanks

I have been troubleshooting it for the last two days and with a bit of troubleshooting help we found that someone in Russia was using a standard ping back feature of the xmlrpc.php file in wordpress on a couple of the other websites on this server to reflect an attack on a couple of servers here in the US. It was a bit of a conundrum for us as we were not hacked as I had initially believed, they were taking advantage of a supported feature of wordpress, but it ended up creating a denial of service for us as the attackers were opening as many ports with their spoofed pingback request as the server would support. This blocked other users such as you from using the website. Our options were to remove the xmlrpc.php file in the root of all the wordpress sites on the server. This would fix the issue but also break some functionality inside wordpress. IT would have been livable but still not optimal. Luckily we found a plugin for wordpress that addresses this exact situation and allows us to turn off pingbacks while not breaking other functionality.

Everything should be back to normal. As of a few minutes ago we weren't seeing any more connections being opened up for these pingback DOS attack packets.

 

If anyone is having any issues please let me know. I don't think that implementing this fix should affect your usage of the website but you can never tell.

 

Thank you,

I have done a long overdue upgrade to both the basic website software and the forum software. I guarantee that we will have some teething issues. Please let me know if you find any bugs or stuff not working. I am actually working through stuff just like you guys as this is such a major version jump that I am learning to use it now also.

Right now I am trying a new layout for the forums. Let me know if you like this or not.. It is a minor matter to change it back to a standard layout. Also this upgrade is problematical in that the developers removed some features according to them as part of the free download forum. Those features I will need to purchase to re-implement them.. I'm not to worried about that but I'm not sure what functionality is missing in this new version. Let me know if you run across stuff we could do before and now can't..

One of the major bugs I was trying to fix with this upgrade was the posting of links in forum posts being broken. This is now fixed. I have tested it and it works.. If you still have an issue with it let let me know. But as of right now I am considering it fixed.

There seems to be an issue with the TinyMCE editing controls for creating posts. I am working at resolving that. Normal posting with basic options still works. Also there is a totally new image and media uploading subsystem. The controls for that are under the text area when you are creating a new post.

Just let me know what issues you run into if any and we will work through them.

 

Update... I have fixed the editing menu issues. It was a bit of brutal work to figure out what the issue was.. An incompatible wordpress plug-in. i will have to create a new contact page on the main website as it was the form generation plug-in used there that was causing the issue.
