A bunch of kids from Sweden who recently sailed around the world in an Albin Vega on a tight budget and with little previous experience read a lot from  that site and after coming home claimed that a lot of it was not accurate.

Did these kid contact noonsite with the correct information? Is there another site out there that has correct information?

If you google "customs yacht check-in [port/country name]" you may find info posted by other cruisers.  Guides that you buy *may* have good info, too.  Customs websites *may* have current info.  Otherwise, info gets out of date quickly in some ports and the only way to be sure is to call ahead to various ports and talk to customs officials.  This is one area that is not sailfar friendly.  Sadly, some ports charge the same fee to a megayacht as a CD25...
