## What is Sailing Atelier?

Sailing Atelier is a private club for the owners and skippers of a family of blue-water cruising yachts. It keeps what its members have learned at sea, and makes it easy to find again.

A fault at anchor rarely happens for the first time. Somewhere, another crew has already met it and worked it out. Sailing Atelier turns those answers into a library you can search, and puts your own yacht's record alongside it.

ASK THE CLUB
Describe a symptom, a part or a system and see every discussion where members met it before, with the solution that worked at the top. When nothing fits, ask the members directly: your search becomes the question, and you are told when someone answers.

DISCUSSIONS THAT READ LIKE A LOGBOOK
Each discussion leads with the answer, shows who last updated it, and lets every member say whether the fix worked on their own yacht. Solutions are shared and improve over time. Share one with your crew or your WhatsApp group in a single tap.

THE LIBRARY
Manuals chapter by chapter, step-by-step how-tos, owners' guides to the questions that keep coming back, and refit guides for the bigger decisions. Find a rigger, sailmaker or engineer near any harbour, starting with the ones other members have actually used.

MY YACHT
Her own record in one place:
- what is due, by date or by engine hours, and what was done last;
- the equipment actually fitted, so parts and guides match your yacht;
- the spares locker, counted against what experienced crews carry;
- a private vault for surveys, certificates and yard reports. Photograph a report at the dock and it is filed before you are back aboard;
- yard visits, with a work list you can share with the yard by link;
- crew, each with their own access;
- a handover that passes her record to the next owner when she is sold.

THE FLEET
See the other yachts in the club, and, only if their owners choose to share it, where they are sailing.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Membership is by approval: every request is checked by hand before anyone sees a member's name, a home port or a document. Discussions are never public and are not indexed by search engines. Sharing your home port and your live position are separate choices, and both are off until you turn them on. You can delete your account from within the app at any time.

Sailing Atelier is independent and is not affiliated with any yacht builder.
