Welcome to 8kn.de!
8kn.de - your & our yachting social network!
Help others and they will help you.
8kn.de is where "yachties" share their experience and knowledge amongst each other, for their reciprocal profit.
On 8kn.de you are the expert, and we are all interested in your stories!
What are you doing? - Logbook
Keep fellow sailors up to date about what you are doing. Maybe you find someone cruising the same route, possibly to meet up and share stories? Where is the weather nice to go to? Read and post status information such as air temperature, location, wind speed etc.
Ask experts before you cruise! - Articles
When planning a cruise, you are certainly interested in other sailors' experience, who know the location. So help others by adding content or link to other pages under Articles. Given the fact that your holidays are (usually) limited, you certainly want to see the most beautiful and interesting places only.

You have something that might be of interest for others, or are you looking for something? Be it dinghies, marine equipment, yachts you can offer anything in our Terminal. Looking for crew or a position to crew? Write a post in our "Terminal", the place of exchange.
How do things work? - Wiki

Who developed this site?
This site has been and is currently being developed by students of the university of Malta, as part of our Web Science assignment.
New features will be added regularly, because 8kn.de will be a perpetual beta.
Our goal is to constantly improve the site, depending on your usage patterns.
This site is to become an international platform for people who are interested in watersport.
Therefore, the more you use our site and add valuable content, the more useful we will and can make it for you!
We hope for your help!
