Q. Does the Sailboat Exchange arrange the exchange of my boat for another boat?

A. No. The Sailboat Exchange merely provides you with the email address of other members who would like to exchange their boat. You must work out the details and time of the exchange. When you join Sailboat Exchange we send you a set of Exchange guidelines to help you. You choose if and when you want to exchange. Some have exchanged for 1 day or a week, with or without the owner on board.

Q. How many times am I allowed to make exchanges and request other members email addresses?

A. You may make as many exchanges as you like; there is no limit to the number of email address you may request. However we only send a maximum of eight addresses at a time. If you need more just send in another request.

Q. You don't have many boats listed. Why?

A. The Sailboat Exchange is just getting started. We have over 150 members and growing. Your support in sharing this site with your sailing association/clug is greatly appreciated.

Q. How much does it cost to join and what do I receive as a member?

A. The yearly membership is $25.00, and includes the posting of a photo of your boat. Remember, a photo is worth a thousand words. Your membership gives you two things:

  • Your boat and its description are listed on our site as being available for exchange. Think of this as paying $25 to charter a sailboat.

  • You get "members only" email addresses of other members so you can arrange an exchange.

Q. I really don't want to let someone else use my boat. Can I join the Sailboat Exchange with the provision that I will accompany the person I am swapping boats with?

A. Yes you can join the Sailboat Exchange. The arrangements for your exchange with another person are entirely up to you. There are many benefits you could provide by an exchange of this type.

Q. I'm not sure how long my e-mail address will be active?

A. May we suggest that you obtain and use a free e-mail account (hotmail, yahoo, etc.) so that we can always process exchange requests in a timely manner. .
