Timeline & Your Crew
Last updated · Markdown
Two fleet-wide pages under Crew Corner in the sidebar, alongside My Trips, Safety & Certs (see My Account, Plans & Upgrading), and Float Plans (see Float Plan).
Timeline
A single chronological view merging everything with a date across your whole fleet: to-dos, maintenance tasks on a day-based schedule (not engine-hour ones), trips, and expirations — insurance, registration, ratings, and your own credentials. It's scoped to whatever you can already see: your own boats and anything shared with you, never anyone else's.
Switch between a list view and a calendar view, and filter by type, vessel, status (overdue/upcoming), date range, or search. Items show as "X days overdue," "Due in X days," or a plain date; trips show "Past" or "Upcoming" instead. Clicking an item — or + Add — takes you straight into the real screen where that record actually lives (To-Do, Captain's Log, Vessel Records, and so on), rather than showing you a read-only copy.
Your Crew
Everyone with access across your fleet, by name. These are the same people who show up individually on each boat's Sharing tab (see Vessel Records), gathered into one fleet-wide list. People who joined through a crew request show as Crew, which has the same read-only access as a Viewer.
Approving crew requests
When someone asks to crew on one of your boats, the request appears under Pending crew requests. A red badge on Your Crew in the sidebar shows how many are waiting, and you'll get a notification. Approve or reject each one. 💬 Discuss opens a conversation with the requester first if you want to ask them something, and you can pull any of your Editors into that conversation with Loop in an Editor?
Crew requests use crew sharing, which is included on every plan (see My Account, Plans & Upgrading).
Finding a boat to crew on
To crew on someone else's boat, search by boat name or owner email and click Request Access. Your pending requests show as ⏳ Waiting on approval, which you can cancel, and boats you're already on show ✓ Already crew. You can 💬 Discuss a pending request with the owner.
Owners can hide their boat from crew search, so not every boat will appear.
Inviting a boat owner to ReadyHelm
If the boat you're looking for isn't on ReadyHelm, click Invite them to ReadyHelm and enter the owner's email. You'll see "Invite logged — we'll email them." They receive an invitation to join. When they sign up and add their boat, they're asked to connect you as crew to it, or to decline. ReadyHelm sends at most one follow-up reminder. To prevent spam, you need to verify your own email address first, and repeat invites to the same person are limited.
If you receive one of these invitations and already have boats, you'll see Someone wants to connect when you sign in. Pick the boat and click Connect as crew, or decline. Anyone who gets an invite email can opt out of future invites using the link in the email.
