How it works

Newsletters and lone trip reports are distributed as Word Documents (.docx). Before uploading into the website, the document must be saved as a Word 2003 XML document (.xml) A registered editor can then upload this form of the newletter to the database. Trip reports can then be extracted from the text and then updated with annotations. Each annotation establishes a fact about the trip: who is the skipper, which boat was used, who was a member of the crew, when the trip started; and also points visited on the trip.

This information allows trips, people, locations and vessels to be interlinked. The view of a trip displays the route of the trip.

Photos can be added to a trip, a person and/or a vessel
