Go to Resources->Dinghy Log on the website, and you'll get a dashboard of all boats, with colors indicating status and a list of open issues. You can instantly see the status of all of our dinghies. If you are not logged into the site, you will see all boats with active issues.

To enter an issue, click on the boat in the Dashboard. Then click on New Issue, enter the details, and Submit. To edit an issue, click on the the issue in the Dashboard and then on Edit Issue. Note that you can specify DNS (Do Not Sail) and Fixed, as appropriate. If you specify DNS as yes, and Fixed as no, the boat will appear RED on the dashboard; if you specify DNS as no, and Fixed as no, the boat will appear YELLOW

To record work on an issue, click on the issue in the Dashboard and then on New Work. Enter what you did, how long you worked on it, and whether you fixed it. It will automatically enter the hours as Volunteer Hours unless you uncheck the box to do so. It will not approve the hours.
All activity will be emailed automatically to the First Vices.
Just to be clear, this has now replaced the paper binder, which you should no longer use.
