A logbook is a record of important events in the management, operation, and navigation of a boat. Every boat needs one.
Did you know that keeping a detailed logbook -- containing details of all the boat's systems and maintenance -- will help your boat fetch a higher price when you sell it?
Instead of just telling a prospective purchaser that the boat is "well-maintained," you can show exactly what was done when. Likewise, documenting new gear with models and dates installed demonstrates why your boat is worth more than another.
Typical logbooks, however, cover only a single set of events -- or at most a couple -- and boats end up with several on board: a travel log, a maintenance log, a fuel log, a radio log, a pump-out log (many states now require this!), and a log of sea hours.
Keeping track of multiple logbooks is a pain. You can never find the one you want. And it becomes even more ridiculous when you realize that you can't buy all of them; you have to create some of them yourself. And still there will be loose pages or Post-Its added in as you think of additional items you should track.
Wouldn't it be nice to have one book that contains everything you need to keep track of? That's what Julie Tijerina, now The Boat Galley's graphic designer, thought.
Julie and her husband Greg live aboard and cruise Star Stuff, a Whitby 42.
Between that and her experience as a yacht broker, Julie knew what cruisers needed in a logbook. And as a professional graphics designer for 25 years, she knew how to create the ultimate ship's log.
No wasted space but containing sufficient room for necessary information, clear visuals, and little details like a tough cover to stand up to life aboard.
And thus was born . . .
