The memory of your boat,
for the cut rather than the sea.
She remembers. You just cruise.
Her cruising log with photos and places. Her costs, down to the diesel split you declare at every pump. Her papers — BSS, licence, blacking — counted. And her year, told as a PDF worth handing on.
What she keeps
Not a tracker with a map — a book of her, kept the way keepers have always kept it, minus the lost notebooks.
The cruising log
One tap at each mooring: photo, place, date. Counted against the 14-day rule with a nudge at four days, two, one, none. The record CRT’s own guidance asks for — photographs with a date and a location.
What counts as evidence →The money
Say “£18 pump-out” or “£40 diesel, sixty–forty propulsion–heating” and it is kept — pump-outs, blacking, coal, mooring, licence. The fuel duty declaration you already make at every pump, remembered properly at last.
What a year of her costs →The papers
BSS, licence, insurance, the blacking diary. She counts the days and nudges at ninety and thirty — while booking the survey is still cheap and calm.
BSS 2026 and smoke alarms →Her story
A PDF of her year: the moorings, the map of her pattern, the receipts attached. Your record if anyone asks — and a thing worth handing to the next keeper.
Included in Log →Free for good
The cruising log, the 14-day count and its reminders, the BSS and winter checklists — free, and not a trial. The paid tiers pay for the depth of her memory, never for the log. The prices, in plain pounds.
Winter is the season
Drain-down before the first hard frost, the heater run dry, the tank filled to the neck. Work through the lay-up list — free, no account — and she will remember what is done until spring.
Meet her first
Grace is a demo boat with a year already in her book — moorings, receipts, a blacking diary. Ask her where she was last moored.
Guides
Written for boaters, with the sources named. Last checked October 2026; where the rules live on official pages, we link them.
Cruising log: what CRT accepts as evidence
The guidance, the photographs with a date and a location, the receipts, and how far back a renewal looks.

The lay-up list, in order, with the whys — and a checklist you can tick in the browser.

What the scheme asks every four years, what fails most, and where the smoke-alarm rule stands now.
Read the guide →No ads. Nothing about you or her is sold. Location is read only when you add a mooring, and only for that entry. Deletion is real — one tap in the app ends the account and her memory. Privacy, in plain English.
