Wooden Boat Finder - UK based equivalent?

[Roach1948]

I found this great website in the States run by the Spaulding Boat Centre - it basically finds wooden boats for sale and lists them with a bit of a blurb on each. I think it is a great way of saving wooden boats and I wonder whether maybe a UK museum could set-up a similar scheme. There may be sothing already out there but I have not found it yet.

It also looks like the BNYA might be doing something but I imagine its going to be a bit of a large undertaking considering what else they are trying to achieve. From their website:
'Boat at Risk
This section is fairly self‐evident – provide as much information as possible about its location and
condition and a risk assessment. Information about its provenance may encourage restoration, such
as designer, builder, past owner(s), achievements, etc. . If the name of the boat is unknown,
describe the class or type of boat. You may need to research a boat to provide some of this
information.
