Since the sinking of the Carver Yachts website I've provided people with the salvaged manuals, spec sheets and such via this topic and PM's.
At this moment I am setting up the website for all to search, select and download the files.
During building and setting up you can keep a keen eye through this link.
As soon as the files can be selected and downloaded in a more simple way than right now, the site will look nice and have the full list available.
To keep you up to date I opened this topic. To answer a few preliminary questions:
The files will be available for free. I will offer a way to donate to cover cost of hosting. I do not want to bother with annoying advertising to do so. Any funds above the actual cost go to the forum.
The files are available through a webshop system and not a big dump to pick and download because I prefer to have the owners get the files they need for free and not have someone pull them all for selling for a profit on some obscure website.
There will be a login, available through the forum. Just to keep the materials for the right people as mentioned above.
Looks and feel is not ready yet, that's the last thing to do. For the moment it's quite rudimentary and subject to daily changes. That's because I'm learning, tweaking, changing, trying, testing and sometimes I do other things than the site too. Like looking for a boat
So feel free to have a look, no need to comment on it too much yet as it's a work in progress. It's ok to comment but don't expect me to fix things right away for now. For example only some files can be downloaded right now, others are emtpy. I'm working on skipping some of the steps during the checkout process, after that I'll get back to the actual files (I know what needs to be done there but don't need that for the part I'm working on right now).
I would like to point to this topic though: request topic for some material for the looks of the site later on.
I will announce it here when the site is operational.
Cheers,
Frank
