Correcting the Registry

[David C]

Anyone know how I can go about correcting the registry vis-a-vis my boat? It seems that it was on the old Lloyd's registry and has made it's way onto WoodenBoat's registry with old and inaccurate data (for instance, it still lists the previous owner as the current owner--11 years after I purchased the boat, and the boat has been in Branford, CT USA rather than St John, NB CA for the same time).

Just get in touch. The WB registry is a voluntary compilation based on what the owners sends in.

Pat Lown at WB will help.

Here is a link to see the Register: www.woodenboat.com/register-wooden-boats

The Register of Wooden Boats lists information on wooden boats, 10′ and above, in overall length. It came into being because the annual Lloyd’s Register of American Yachts and other registers ceased publication.

It is crowd-sourced; submissions are reviewed here in the Research Library at WoodenBoat Publications.
It should be easy to post information about your boat, and to upload a few photos, too.
When there is a change of ownership, a new page is usually made, and the old page archived in place.

You can contact Q@woodenboat.com, or Pat Lown, at pat@woodenboat.com, as rbgarr says, to correct or add to listings.
