I would love to help, but am only a figurehead anymore.  Jaded and salty,
as appropriate. Lol

I don't have buku bucks to bring, but this community is awesome and I would
be happy to steward in whichever way I can.   I can't take credit for the
new site, I didn't do any "work" but attempted to organize a team of
volunteers.  Peter, your work is to be observed in this capacity.

I can offer sever hosting (but aws is fine too), communication skills, and
remote (regional) sales/consulting.  I have access to a 2500 diesel truck.
 I have a younger family with children, and a few companies, but want this
to endure.  I don't do social media or any type of marketing.

I live 10 min from Harken and can get to know the owner, they live across
the near lake to me (pine lake, 53058).  I'm admittedly new to sailing, but
familiar with water and boats.

Not that anyone was asking me, but thought I'd lay out something.

Best,
Tom
