You are starting to get a lot of forums on the front page. Two or three more and there will be too many to make it not a pain in the ass to review. Have a look at sailinganarchy.com. They have thousands of members and hundreds of posts every day but on the front page of the forums there are only about 8 options. Eg: The new forum about chat probably should have been a new thread under general comments.
Just my two cents.

Another example, General tech and tips and tricks could be one forum. So could sails and rigging.
Two more cents.

Hello,
A rule I try to follow is the 5 by 5 by 5 Rule
Many people will only look at a list with 5 items on it after 4 the gloss over the rest until they hit the last one so they only see 5.
So 5 x 5 x 5 gives you up to 625 topics that that should be enough for most boards.
As Gumby say only my 2 cents worth

Wow suggest and one receives not bad for 6 cents
Great job on getting the Form up and going and the reward for doing that is another another suggestion (since you asked for one) I will through this out there for the two of you and anyone else reading.
Remember that this suggestion and a $1.48 will get you a Large Double Double at Tims

- Clubhouse
- * The Bar (contents of the current Clubhouse)
- * Sail loft
- * Photos
- * Nothing to do with Sailing
- Tech Shop
- Cruising
- Racing
Clubs
- Halifax Area clubs
- Newbies
- Polls
- Feedback
Classifieds
- Leave as is
- Add Misc 4 sale
I'm sure some more word smithing is required the title suggestions
This will break the front page down into 3 areas of interest with room to grow. With only three area of focus it may keep conversations on topic.
If people are intrerested in Classifieds then they see everything.
Allow everyone to quickly see where new information has been added and where they want to go next. But putting the main focus on the Clubhouse.
