Welcome to the TOGnews E-mail Discussion Group for Tayana and Vancouver sailboat owners, friends interested in knowing more about our great sailboats, owners of boats designed by Bob Perry (Valiant, Baba-Panda-Tashiba, etc.), and owners of other ocean worthy boats.

TOGnews E-mail Discussion Group is owned and managed by a group of Tayana owners on a volunteer basis and not sponsored by commercial interests.  Our group exists for the benefit of its members. There will never be a charge for membership in our group. Per the Google Group TOS (see link at the bottom of this page), the managers reserve the right to make final decisions regarding group membership, postings, and files. In addition, no postings or files regarding lawsuits are allowed. And disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.

You may access the e-mail list two ways. Each requires approval from our group moderators listed at the bottom of this page. Please give us the reason why you want to join our group, so that we can verify your legitimate interest and help eliminate spam.

 (1) Create a Google profile and join. You will have access to the group's web-based functions: discussions, pages, files, and members.

 (2) Subscribe by sending an e-mail to: <TOGnews-subscribe@googlegroups.com> without creating a Google profile. You will be able to send and receive group e-mails, but not access the group's web-based functions.
