After nearly six months of development, we are proud to announce significant improvements of the Downtown Sailing Center website! This version includes a tremendous number of new features and new under-the-hood improvements for both users and the organization.
We revamped the user interface so that it is easy to become a member, register for classes and events and volunteer. Other key features include the addition of a blog for announcements, news, and guest commentary; member profiles and directory; a forum where members can post requests for crew or skippers and revamped file-handling capabilities among literally hundreds of other improvements.
The improved site is the collective work of more than a dozen core contributors, with super volunteer Erica Denner having acted as the lead. Thank you Erica for all that you've done to get us to this point!
It is important to note that this is the "alpha" version of the revision. We've resolved most errors reported so far, but there are outstanding known issues and most likely some problems that have not been reported as of yet.
It is expected that there will be weekly changes and improvements to the site. You can help us reach our goal of having a site that works well for all users and provides the highest value by testing the public sections of the site, joining and testing the member only sections of the site and providing feedback.
Special note for skipper level members:
We are working out the bugs for connecting to our boat reservation system. If you are interested in reserving a boat in the month of December, please call the office and we will describe the process for accessing the reservation system or manually enter your reservation.
