Our discussion group can.rec.boating was created in May 1998 to provide a forum for Canadian boaters to talk to each other. The can.rec.boating Charter/FAQ explains the group's creation and acceptable use. Help using Newsgroups explains how to access newsgroups, post a message, and how to sell your boat (properly).
