CF members to seek advice from
We all have certain deficits in our cruising, seamanship, and system's knowledge. My hope is this thread with contributions from others, will identify the truly knowledgeable in the arenas that we seek advise. Below is my personal pick of members that are above par in given areas. Please add to the list.
For electrical and RF
btrayfors
For batteries and DC systems
T1 Terry, Maine Sail
For Seamanship
atoll
For A~Z general knowledge
sailorchic34, Astrid
The above hardly scratches the surface of the collected knowledge that we have on this forum, so everyone add to it and make it more complete.

Re: CF members to seek advice from
Lagoon4us seems to have tons of marine-relevant experience, generally gives informative and level headed responses, and has lots of real-life experience with Catamaran cruising and ocean sailing.
