The password should be at least 6 characters long. It is VERY important that you put some real reasons why you wish to join and information about your boat in the “About Your Boat” box. This helps us to stop spambots from applying to join and swamping the site. Please put something interesting in there about your boat, crewing or the like so that we know you are a real sailor. Please also put your Mobile phone number in the Mobile phone Box message as an alternative contact to the email. If you add a link to a web page in the "about me" you will be immediately deleted as this is one "signature" of spam/spoofers.
