Folk, my sailor is thinking about implementing a sailing forum.  Ouch !

Last forum software I implemented was phpBB(?) several years ago.  I do not recall that being a particularly pleasant experience  , although the unpleasantness may have been due to the commissioner, not the software.

So, what would you suggest for such a task?  Needs to be low maintenance, novice friendly, reasonably (?!?) capable.  I'll be installing it, but an office admin will be doing day-to-day maintenance as required.

(Personally, I like the look of this forum ( ), but I've gathered (incorrectly?) that it is relatively high maintenance.)
