New Yachts section - anyone want to monitor/edit this?

I've given up trying to interest yacht builders or agents in advertising in this section for now so have created ads for three of the new yachts I would be most likely to investigate if our numbers came up.

The UK yacht building industry is pretty volatile, and the UK agencies for foreign-built yachts change hands like football stickers in a playground. It's a fairly extensive section of the BlueMoment fdirectory, and I haven't always been as good at keeping it bang up to date as I would like.

So - would anyone like to volunteer to 'look after' this section? You won't actually have to update the site, just keep me informed of any errors, broken links, changes to agencies, new builders or agents etc. The minder could PM me, email me or perhaps we could start a new forum section so that amendments would also form a sort of news channel. If this was a success then we could perhaps extend it to other sections of the directory, make it more of a communal affair.

I like this idea - a few of have had a go at this with some of your other sites - though we do seem to lose interest after a very short time. You would need to point us at certain areas on a regular basis - we could pick a section once a month and give it a good rumble up.

I've amended links as suggested, removed the Huzar link as a gesture of sympathy towards the bloke with the delaminated wreck, scrubbed Seaquest, added Malo UK and changed the Viva link tol Serena yachts, thte N. Ireland dealer.

Still more to do here I'm sure, but it is a lot more up to date than it was. Many thanks to Madhatter.
