A Magaizine Worth its Ballast.

I get three "boating" magazines: Sailing, Sail and Soundings (a general boating magazine - highly recommended). Each one has a special place on my coffee table.

The strength of this magazine is, first and foremost, the sections titled: 'Perry on Design' and the 'Used Boat Notebook' (and its accompanying side bar - 'Value Guide'). 'Perry on Design' covers briefly the designs of the new offering hitting the market. 'Used Boat Notebook' is the "Car & Driver" review for used boats: much more thorough than 'Perry'. This outstanding section covers: Impressions, Construction, What to Look for, On Deck, Down Below, Engine, Under Way and a succinct conclusion that raps it up This section alone is the main reason I get this magazine. Other reasons are the magazine's beautiful color photos and a section called 'Boat Doctor', information on technique and safety.

If you are a sailor, serious or a wannabe, you can't go wrong with "Sailing". Strongly recommended.

Sailing World

I subscribed to Sailing World for two years. After 6 months I noticed that I only had 6 months left. After 5 calls where I was told I did have another year coming, now the tell me that a new owner has purchased the magazine and they owe me nothing.

I subscribed for 2 years and after 6 months I noticed that they only showed me having 6 months left. I have now spoken to them 5 times and spent more than an hour on the phone and they just told me they cant help me because they have been sold and the new owner dosn't owe me anything.
