Copyediting

These articles were previously written by other boats.com contributors but have been subsequently edited/updated by myself. In some cases, this was as simple as proofreading and editing for typos/clarity; others involved checking products/legislation were still up-to-date and relevant (and updating them accordingly where necessary); and some required full rewrites to ensure the content was relevant, search engine optimised, and pleasant to read.
