Depends

Should I use Forums?

Sailing Anarchy community discussion forums - forums.sailinganarchy.com

· 12 hours ago

This is a free hobbyist sailing community forum, not a product you buy — join it if you sail, skip it otherwise. Sources about the site itself are thin, so confidence is low.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~50 public sources; none reviewed Sailing Anarchy directly except its own security page.
