About us

Who runs the Sailing Forum? Brion Lutz has been running the Sailing Forum, and now the Outdoors Forum for CompuServe, for close to 20 years now, beginning in 1986.  Brion has a long history of messing about in boats, from growing up in New Jersey on the Mullica River, Great Bay, Little Egg Inlet area to cruising the Golden Horn in Asia to The Creek in Lagos Nigeria to Waheke Island in New Zealand.

History of Sailing Forum. Sailing Forum was started by John Lovell a few years before that on CompuServe's subscription service which included forums by Lotus, IBM, Ashton-Tate, Dell Computers, all the original hardware and software companies that began the PC revolution back on the 1980's. Lovell left and turned the forum over to Brion who had Keith Taylor, then the editor of Sail Magazine, to help out.  Use this link to contact: Brion Lutz

Sailing Forum has been a long time supporter for the sport. Sailing Forum and CompuServe have been long time supporters and sponsors of several sail racing events. Most notably Sailing Forum/CompuServe sponsored the BOC Around Alone Race in in 1994-95 and the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1997-98. In partnership with Compaq Computer, CompuServe operated cyber cafes at each one of the ports, offering free computer access to everyone visiting the race villages.
