BOAT REVIEWS
We take you aboard the finest small craft in the world, from the smallest daysailer to the biggest trailerable cruiser. We even review sailboats long out of production. From in-depth technical information to feedback from owner-sailors, you learn a boat's every characteristic and quality, good or bad. Can you really sleep in those quarterberths? How dry does she ride in a blow? How does she sail to weather? Is she unusually prone to capsize or knockdown? Does she have a dangerous lee helm? How is her light-air performance? Does her hull "oilcan"? Get the scoop from those who really know. Click here to see a list of previous issues and the boats reviewed in each.
INTERVIEWS
From fearless adventurers to respected designers, we go one-on-one with important and legendary names in small boats. Some of our past interview subjects include: Phil Bolger, Sven Yrvind, Jerry Montgomery, Larry Brown, Matt Layden and Steven Ladd.
WHERE TO SAIL
Do you really care about the crew who sailed their 50-foot yacht to Bermuda? Neither do we! We're more interested in the guy who explored the sailing grounds near his home on a weekend voyage. We tell you about the places that interest the small-boat cruiser. Places in your back yard. From the San Juans to The Keys, and the lakes, rivers and bays between.
WOODEN BOATS AND BOAT BUILDING
Every issue features a new study of plans for the home builder as well as other articles about wooden designs.
HOW-TO ARTICLES
We show you how to make your boat perform to its potential, and how to maintain it and its related equipment.
