Every report is dated and shows its evidence. 2 reports 2 kinds of report 7 Oct 2026 last update Written by [Domagoj Franc](https://olasail.com/about/people/domagoj-franc/), editor.

Until then it has no page. - Buoy, quay and anchoring prices in Central Dalmatia, checked for 2026 Planned. Every buoy, quay and anchoring price we cite for 2026, from the operators' and port authorities' own lists - The 2026 season review: what changed and what we corrected Planned. Our first yearly report on every change and correction ## How we report Each report links to the evidence behind its findings. Something new, with a date A rule that changed, a figure just published, a price we checked or what we saw on the water. The date is on the report, and each fact keeps its own check date. The evidence first The official text, the operator's own answer, our own count or photo. Every changing fact shows its label and its source, as on every page. Then the pages change A report links the places, moorings and guides that carry the current facts. We change those pages first, so they never lag behind the journal. Corrections in the open If a report is wrong, we fix it and log the change at its foot, with the date and why. No schedule and no filler We don't publish to fill a calendar or chase a search phrase. If there is nothing new, there is no report. People check, not machines AI may help us find and sort sources. A named person checks every fact and edits every sentence.
