Reviewer guidelines

A few ground rules.

The whole project depends on reviews being honest, dated, and tied to a real boat. Five rules:

01

Only review services you actually paid for.

No second-hand stories. Your review carries your boat name and model — write what you know first-hand, and skip what you heard at the dinghy dock.

02

Name the trade, date the work.

Include the date you used the service and what they did. "Marlon swaged a new D1 in 24h on 2026-04-12" beats "great rigger".

03

No anonymous bombing.

Reviews are tied to your account. One review per business per visit. If you change your mind later, edit — don't pile on a second account.

04

Edits keep the audit log.

Every edit is timestamped and attributed on the business's audit log. Wiki-style edits are welcome; vandalism is reverted and the account is flagged.

05

No advertising. No competitor takedowns.

Reviews are for cruisers helping cruisers. If you spot a fake review or a competitor smear, flag the listing and an admin will look.

Spotted something off?

Every business has a Suggest an edit button. If something more serious is going on — fake reviews, advertising, or a closed business that won't go away — drop us a note.
