The super-condensed version of the Yachtless.com commandments. Stick to them and you will be blessed. Disobey them and suffer!

The number one rule for user and member conduct on the Yachtless website is:

Be polite, civilized and pleasant at all times and conduct yourself in a way that will contribute to other Yachtless users' pleasant experience of the Yachtless website.

The second golden rule is:

All publicly displayed posts, messages and articles must be in the English language. User content contributions that are not in English will be removed. This is the rule. It is not up for discussion. If you absolutely need to know the reasons for this rule, you may read Why English Only?

The third golden rule is:

Your username and password is WHO YOU ARE on the Yachtless website. Only you may use your username and password to access the Yachtless website as a member. Users may not permit others to use their usernames and passwords.

The fourth golden rule is:

Do not SPAM.

Captain_No_Beard

He has no beard, or is that because he is a girl?

He laughs in the face of fear, or is it just a nervous giggle?

He's a man with a plan, or is he hopelessly adrift at sea?

He knows absolutely nothing about sailing, or does he know absolutely nothing about web sites?

You'll surely be able to stand him, because he'll let you cruise along for free!

Sailing like crazy
