Concepts
The book is the signed record of one hull. Parts are the named items on it. A Finding is what a surveyor saw and signed.
Systems on the hull
Kit sits under systems a skipper already knows: Hull, Deck, Rig, Machinery, Electrical, Safety. Your book is one hull. You name what is actually there. Make and serial stay unknown until someone knows them.
Optional kit — a watermaker, a liferaft — stays off until you add it. Planned Add kit after you open the book.
Glossary
- Book
- The signed record of one boat across its life. When the boat is sold, the book goes with the hull.
- Parts
- Named items on this hull — installed, stowed or on hand — under the systems above. A spare impeller is its own item, not a second state of the fitted one.
- Finding
- What a surveyor saw, with a photo first and a recommendation if there is one. A Finding says what was found, not what is fitted. Only a surveyor signs one. Owner ticks are not Findings.
- Due
- What needs doing next, why, and last done (or never). Empty reads No job.
- A time-limited read of the book — sign in, or a signed-only file with no account. Not a copy. You can close either.
- Home
- Next due, Continue, and Parts. Settings stay folded.
Words we do not use
Not "verified" with a tick (say who signed). Not "tamper-proof" (tamper-evident). Not "twin" or "passport" (your boat's record). Not a headline where software is the subject: people sign; nothing automated does.
