Customer Reviews of Sail

I¿d rather be sailing than reading about it, but....
When the storm blows, or I am languishing in the doldrums, I pull out one of the three "boating" magazines I get: Sail, Sailing and Soundings. "Sail's" top quality, above, the other two, is in the areas of technical advice. It always has a solid information on cruising tips and weather mixed with a smattering of great sea stories.

The destinations that are profiled, for potential cruising destinations, always becharm me with the thought that one day I too will anchor in Italy, or Maine, or Western Canada, or..... Really, who among us wouldn't be tempted with the thought of a layover at Bora Bora .

Some of the reviews, especially in electronics, have been disappointing. The reviews give an overall comprehension of what is offered in the market today, but, sadly, make no recommendations. For example, the article that was to "review" seven color plotters (April 2003) ended the article with no recommendations, and then gave an insubstantial kiss off by saying, "it is disconcerting to contemplate how many brands and models there are to choose from". In other words, "you're on your own".

Regarding evaluations of new and used boats, I find "Sailing" to be more comprehensive and helpful.

Don't get me wrong "Sail" is still a worthwhile read and has excellent advise for any 'salt' or 'beginner'. Recommended. 3.5 stars

Ahoy Mates.....
This review refers to "Sail" Magazine.....

Whether you are a novice sailor, racer ,or an old hand at it, 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 love those boats.
Being stuck in Minnesota with our six months winters, Sail magazine is a real pleasure. I knew nothing about sailing before subscribing and now I seem to know lots of things. I like this mag. and the stories of exotic places which they sail to. I think if you do a lot of coastal/blue water sailing, this magazine would be a smart bet.
