Hello all,
THE FORUM is steaming into new territory again this month, it appears we are going to break the previous second-place readership record by
TWELVE THOUSAND PAGES during the month of August, and we may even eclipse the all-time record if the projection is conservative.
For the Month of August so far...........here are the TOP TEN COUNTRIES tuned in world-wide.
I am pretty astounded that Isreal has logged in the number 2 spot this month, this is very
unusual, so it looks like we have some classic boating fans there, and we offer them all a
very big WELCOME ABOARD !
1. United States
2. Israel
3. Canada
4. Sweden
5. France
6. Germany
7. Australia
8. United Kingdom
9. China
10. Norway
This ranking changes as the month evolves, and it is different each month but with obvious trends.
UK is normally a little higher in the ranking but this month I guess most people were watching the
Olympics (as I was) rather than reading THE FORUM. Also, it looks like Dieder and Lenny have put out the word in France and Australia too (thanks guys).

The participation we have here on THE FORUM has increased steadily each quarter since 2005.
It is due to the quality of people we attract, the quality of postings and information being exchanged, and lots of enthusiasm.
Many thanks to all who help make this place so enjoyable to visit, contribute, and learn.
If you have something to share about a project or special boating event, history, or personal experience,
and you want your message to be seen around the world by thousands of people..........this is the place to be

sincerely,
Paul
