I wonder why anyone thinks there is a need for such a product/service when there is already plenty of information.
They seem to start off as a well intentioned project but then in relying on the goodwill of contributors fall quickly into just another incomplete record. Noonsite is a case in point. I wonder if there is EU funding for a group of committed blue-momenters to undertake a 10 yr project to supply such information?

You appear to have started a database with no data.

Surely you have some cruising logs or information of your own to add to get the ball rolling? If not, then why on earth have you embarked on such a project?

I'm sorry, but expecting people to build a website for you so you can then capitalise on it in some way is an internet business model that rarely works IMHO - you will need to put in a little more effort.
