Sail (1-year auto-renewal)

Sail Magazine is a ten-minute read then toss it. I cancelled it after a year.

Look, my opinion is just my opinion. Almost all magazines today are almost all advertising; either overt ads, or covert advertising disguised as articles and reviews about new products. I spent ten minutes every issue reading a few columns written by famous names such as Nigel Calder et. al and that was it. I've read their books for the most part anyway, so these few useful parts were not worth the $10 a year subscription fee, so I cancelled it.

Your mileage may vary.

But advertising can be informative if read with discrimination, especially if you are new to the sport and want to get an overview of what's going on commercially. I am old enough to remember when the America's Cup was a contest between boats and sailors, not between computers and lawyers, so my viewport may be very different from yours. Fair winds.

Whether you are a novice sailor, racer or an old hand, whether you own a boat,are thinking of buying one or just like to go along for the ride, this magazine covers it all.

There's all kinds of useful tips and information for anyone who just loves boats or being out on the water. There are articles ranging from handling weather and mechanical problems to keeping your pets aboard. The latest in gear and equipment, America's Cup Schedules,basic cruising tips,articles written by people just like you, who just love being out there(these are great as they give good ideas for living aboard and places to cruise), are all in here.

Thinking of buying a boat? You'll find feature articles on new and older boats. There is even a classified section in the back, that will give you a good idea of the price ranges for the type of boat your looking for.

Day Sailor, Cruiser, Racer or Live Aboard, you'll look foward to every issue........Laurie

I resubscribed to Sail recently after some years without the magazine. I also subscribe to Yachting World which is the absolute best sailing magazine I have ever taken and Good Old Boat which has some very well written regular features. By comparison to YW,kind of apples to apples, Sail is weakly produced and written. It lacks generally compelling monthly columns and many times it seems sort of dumbed down. But it is a decent resource for the US based sailor and its far better than say Cruising or US Sailing.
