Scope

This WikiProject proposes to work on the activity of sailing including equipment, disciplines, boats, manufacturers, designers and anything else we can think of.

Collaboration and review

Collaboration of the week

• Forces on sails: Look at the discussion at Talk:Forces on sails#Expert attention and elsewhere in the Talk page, which I have just tied to this project. There are two parallel efforts, one in the main article and one in the sandbox. It appears that the two editors are unlikely to reach a consensus as to which approach is more appropriate to WP:MOS. It would help, if other editors would look at both efforts and comment at the Reorganization? section. Sincerely, User:HopsonRoad 00:27, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
