| - | In the beginning, rec.boats was alone. Boaters of all propulsions discussed everything about boats there, and when they weren't discussing boats they were discussing splitting rec.boats. Over time, rec.boats has successfully spawned many sub-groups ([news:rec.boats.cruising r.b.cruising], [news:rec.boats.racing r.b.racing], [news:rec.boats.building r.b.building], etc.), and this proposal continues in that "split by function" tradition. | + | In the beginning, [news:rec.boats rec.boats] was alone.

Electronic systems play a role in many areas of boating: racing/cruising, sail/power, etc. Discussions of similar electronics topics are currently active in different rec.boats.* groups. The issues and answers about boating electronics are often independent of the final application. For example, a sport fisher may be interested in interfacing GPS and charting systems to record the best spot, a sailing cruiser may need better ways to manage an autopilot, a racer may want to capture instrument data for tactical analysis: very different boating applications, but very similar electronics problems. | Electronic systems play a role in many areas of boating: racing/cruising, sail/power, etc. Discussions of similar electronics topics are currently active in different rec.boats.* groups.
