Features and benefits

The Yachting Collection is for those seeking to store or retrieve records about various types of boats and related maritime items.  The focus is on the maritime leisure sector.

The DigiClerk (DC) Yachting Collection allows you to give your collection a much wider, but yachting community, global audience.  Right now, as a DC Member, you can take a photo of your record, using the DC app or using a scanner, and upload it onto the platform for all other Members to see, wherever they are in the world.

You can indicate which of your yachting records are for sale and what price you are asking for them (see future features for when they can be traded).  Members can form groups within the collection which might reflect boat clubs, boat owner associations, regional groups, boat interest groups…you tell us how you want your community to look.

DC allows you to:

• upload and explore records
• upload your maritime archives and records
• share those records with others
• identify and categories records
• see what records are on the platform
• link those records with other related records
• create a collection or collections (a boat model)
• create interest groups (like a boat association)
• share your records to a filtered but global audience
