    I think it's a great idea though from me it would be a matter of what I plan to do.

    David, Presumably some consideration might be needed to decide on the system of measurements ie all imperial or all metric or would it be the ugly compromise with a mixture?  jds

    Gets my vote. The only other idea I could think of was to suggest Google Docs which offers an easy-to-use spreadsheet feature to which all could have access. But if the present system can handle it, fine.

    Sounds nice. Another bright idea from Arne. Thanks for having him with us again, and lucky me living next door!

    Sounds like the go to me and perfectly 'do-able' by those with more limited computer skills.  If they can fill in their profile, they can do this.

    After a little bit of thought, I think I see how to do it.
    The membership database that is part of this website is fully searchable, and I can add more fields to it in all the usual forms - text, numbers, "radio buttons"(choose one) etc. At the moment we have a membership directory that covers both member and boat. We can split this into two, and have a Member Directory that is just about the people and their interests, and a Boat Directory that is just about the boats. These are simply "reports" taken from the full database.
    New members would see a lot more questions to answer than at present. Existing members would have to be asked to go to their profile and edit in all the data about their mast construction and size, their yard construction and size, etc., etc.
    Would this do what we want it to? I think it would.
