I have had to remove your recent additions to this article. "How to" information on inspecting and repairing the boat is prohibited under Wikipedia policies. All editors are required to adhere to Wikipedia policies. WP:NOTMANUAL spells this out: "Instruction manuals. While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places and things, an article should not read like a "how-to" style owner's manual, cookbook, advice column (legal, medical or otherwise) or suggestion box. This includes tutorials, instruction manuals, game guides, and recipes. Describing to the reader how people or things use or do something is encyclopedic; instructing the reader in the imperative mood about how to use or do something is not. Such guides may be welcome at Wikibooks instead." This may be useful to owners, but it belongs in a blog or on the Class Association website, not here. - Ahunt (talk) 17:26, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
