Welcome to WikiProject Sailing. This WikiProject has been formed as a collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of sailing and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic.
If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
Introduction
[edit]Scope
[edit]This WikiProject proposes to work on the activity of sailing including equipment, disciplines, boats, manufacturers, designers and anything else we can think of.
Goals
[edit]- To grow a group of active experienced members who are interested in Sailing in all its forms and will contribute to the development of sailing related articles, categories, images and templates.
- To expand the base of well-written articles with in-depth content that Wikipedians can use for encyclopedic reference.

[edit]Collaboration and review
[edit]- 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)
