A sold boat comes off your account and your bill once you have its records. Archive a boat you will come back to.
A boat gets sold, or a customer moves on, or you simply stop looking after it. YachtGrade lets you take that boat off your account and off your bill without losing the records. You are sent a full download of the boat's file first, and the boat is removed from your account, not deleted. Removal is final, so this guide also covers archiving, which you can undo.
There are two ways to take a boat off your list, and they are different.
Only an owner or an admin can remove a boat, and only if the company's remove-boats permission is on for them. If you cannot see the button, that is why. A tech cannot remove a boat.
The boat does not leave straight away. The screen then says the boat is being removed and that its records are being packed into a download first, with the link emailed to you. On a boat with a lot of photographs that can take a few minutes. The boat leaves the account once the download has gone out. That order is on purpose: nothing happens to the boat until the download exists, so you can never lose a boat without having been sent its records.
While it waits you can change your mind. Tap Keep with the boat's name, which reads "Keep (boat name) on the account," and the removal is cancelled.
Two things stop a removal. A check still in progress on the boat has to be finished or discarded first. And an account that is read only cannot remove boats, since it is not being billed for them. It is sent to Export data, found in the Menu as Download your data, to take a copy of everything instead.
Reports you already shared keep working. Once the boat is removed it cannot be brought back to your account. If you add the same boat again later, it starts a new, empty file, so keep the download you were emailed. If there is any chance you will look after the boat again, archive it instead of removing it.
I sold the boat. How do I take it off my account?
Open the boat, go to its Share tab, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove (boat name) from your account. Type the name to confirm. You are emailed a download of its file first, then the boat leaves your account and your bill.
Is the boat deleted?
No. It is removed from your account, and YachtGrade keeps its records. Reports you already shared keep working.
I cannot find the Remove button.
Only owners and admins with the remove-boats permission see it. It sits at the foot of the boat's Share tab. If the account is read only, you are directed to Export data instead.
Can I get a removed boat back?
No. Removal is final. Adding the boat again starts a new, empty file. Its records are in the download you were emailed when you removed it. To take a boat off Today for a while, archive it instead.
What if I just want it off Today for the winter?
Archive it instead. It stays on your plan, everything is kept, and Restore boat brings it back with one tap.
Do I get my records?
Yes, before the boat leaves. The email carries a download of its checks, reports, photographs, maintenance and documents.
If you only need a copy of your records, with no removal, see the company's Download your data in the Menu. To add a boat, see setting up your first boat, and for what a plan covers, see pricing.
