Why Your Sailing CV Opens Doors
Skippers face the challenge of vetting crew from blank profiles. A documented logbook with logged passages, roles, and miles proves you're a reliable sailor, not just someone ticking a bucket-list box. When a skipper sees you've helmed coastal passages, completed night watches, or crewed offshore deliveries, that's evidence of competence. It's the difference between getting passed over and getting invited aboard.
Whether you're working toward your Day Skipper practical, applying for delivery work, or proving sea time for Yachtmaster assessment, your digital CV becomes your Sailing CV. RYA courses require logged sea miles. Charter companies want documented passage experience. Sailing schools hiring instructors need proof you've sailed beyond the Solent. Your logbook isn't just nostalgia; it's professional credentials.
The difference between "interested in sailing" and "experienced crew" is documentation. Log every passage (club races, channel crossings, coastal hops) and watch opportunities multiply. Skippers choose crew with track records. Employers trust verified experience. Your sailing CV isn't about boasting; it's about opening doors that stay closed to sailors without proof.

Common Questions
Do I need to be verified to log passages?
No! Anyone can log passages immediately after creating a free account. Verification is optional and helps build trust with skippers.
Can I import passages from paper logbooks?
Yes. Manually enter past passages with dates, routes, and roles. There's no bulk import yet, but each entry takes less than a minute.
What's the difference between free and Pro logbooks?
Free logbooks support basic entries (date, route, distance, role, notes). Subscribe to Pro (£10.00/month) to import GPS tracks from sailing apps, see turning points, and export advanced PDF formats.
Will skippers actually see my logbook?
Yes! Your logbook experience summary appears on your profile and crew search results. Skippers can click through to see detailed passages.
Can I make passages private?
Not yet, but we're planning to add this feature. Currently all logged passages are visible on your public profile.
How do I get endorsements for logged passages?
After sailing together, request an endorsement from the skipper or fellow crew. They'll receive a notification and can endorse you with one click.
