Source-led writing

Technical claims are checked against official references, manufacturer manuals, sailmaking suppliers and recognized sailing organizations where they are appropriate. The desk separates what a source says from its own explanation and uses a date when a page may change.

Clear boundaries

We do not present a universal sail setting, a guaranteed performance result or a repair method as safe for every boat. We do not invent tests, credentials, field visits or reader stories. When structural, electrical, legal or class-specific questions arise, the page points back to the correct professional or rulebook.

Corrections

Corrections are welcome at [email protected]. The desk checks the source, updates the claim when needed and keeps the language proportionate to the evidence.
