Shipyards, engineering, paintwork, rigging, crew, concierge, brokerage and ashore experiences. Every listing is checked, and you decide what you reveal, and when.
The trade, the port of call, the date. The vessel's name stays hidden until a professional takes the request on.
Only those covering your port and your trade receive the request. No mass broadcast.
Contact is direct. FairWinds takes no part in the quote, the payment or the contract.
A request carries the trade, the port and the dates. The name of the boat is revealed only to the professional who takes your request on, never to the others.
Company existence, registration number and insurance certificate checked on a stated date. This is a check of existence, never a guarantee of the work carried out.
Identity checked once, never published. The professional knows the request is genuine without ever learning who is behind it.
