Field notes
The project combines a regional boating publication with a planning workflow that separates buying from renting and adjusts the context by waterway, boat class, and annual usage. Its stated coverage includes tariffs for 10 Swiss and Italian lakes, a five-year maintenance projection, and licensing or border rules. The homepage also points readers toward a weekly log, a free worksheet, and an external animated-knot reference, giving the site more depth than a single calculator landing page.
