How this site is written

The coverage pages on marine.insure carry the name of the person who reviewed them and the date they were last updated, and every entry in The Logbook carries its author's name. Software helps draft and check copy; nothing is published that the person named has not read.

If something on a page is out of date or wrong, tell us.
