Rating: - sail magazine
Fairly good magazine. The articles are short, interesting, and often include sailing stories. SAIL could use more hands on information. Overall evenly balanced between stories of interest, and "how to" articles. SAIL seems to be targeted at the middle class boat owner. You may need to subscribe to a mag more focused on your particular needs or two to three magazines on sailing.

It's a magazine that all my friends read ... Read More

This magazine doesn't waste the reader's time with articles composed by so- called professional writers. Instead, it sticks with the people who know sailing better than anyone: the sailors themselves. This makes the ... Read More
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
