Several years ago we contemplated a community-based brokerage model where members that contribute to the collective are compensated for their time and knowledge...

We've spent 19 years building a digital documentary on yachting without ever tracking readers or selling user information. Some of our earliest members were recognizable names from the Fortune 500; folks who answer to shareholders, employees and competitors...
