  • The thing I like about it is....
  • what is Cruising World?
    • Agreed.
      • SAME here!
      • Sail mag even recently had an anchor test...
        • Have you seen an FX37 in person?
          • I have the FX37 as a storm anchor
            • 
        • That was not a "SAIL Magazine" anchor test...
          • No, missed that one Jon... should have realized...
            • I've carried a 22 pound Claw on the bow of Tehani from Port Isabel Texas, around to
              • Charlie.....
              • how much is a "bunch" of chain.
                • 100 feet of 1/4 G4, with 200 feet of 1/2 nylon attached
  • I've read the issue, I actually still subscribe...
  • I cut CW some slack. Their brand is still Cruising which includes long distance-exotic destinations.
    • "Long distance exoctic destinations...."
      • lol- yep- like a 52 year old 25 footer
      • Just because you buy a globe-girdler, doesn't mean you have to go.
      • Always amusing to read critiques of a magazine by people who don't read it... (grin)
        • The articles on the Cape Verdes and Helena were fasinating. Both are places which "cruising" is a very different.
          • Exactly... I wonder how many people would be paying $80/year for a subscription...
            • I just did. I didn't even know it was a multi!
              • Going green
                • I may pick up a few mags again, that way. I just read the latest Points East online.
                  • I've been getting CW via the Kindle app
                    • I still prefer magazines...
                    • Just checked tha app store. Did you subscribe for a year or buy by the month?
                      • I subscribe through Amazon
                      • Kindle store
                        • CW is $16.79 year on Amazon Kindle app
                          • Correction
              • The reason you don't see magazines on newstands
        • Sorry Jon, but I have to disagree
          • I will say this, after posting above
            • Maybe whtat it really comes down to is demographics...
              • I read that CW review, on Facebook. Next day, I read one from Fatty Goodlander.
          • I presume you've heard the expression "You can't please all of the people, all of the time"... (grin)
  • It's a changing world, for sure...
    • That's good for the used boat market
    • Sailing should follow golfs marketing.
      • It is odd. A simple 'everyday sailing' entry level sailboat has never been cheaper to buy.
        • and yet-at the 2014 Sail Oklahoma event on Lake Eufala, there were 72 boats
        • Thinking back.. can't recall a NEW boat.
          • I bought a brand new San Juan 21, Mk I in 1973
            • That model was the first boat I sailed-on. It was a friends boat in the St. Croix River between Minnesota and Wisconsin
          • one for me
          • I bought a new boat in '76
            • And you are somewhere in between ;^)))
              • Closer to 78 than 42
          • 10 new, 3 used
            • Wait a minute . . you sold a Porta-Bote to Jax?
              • He's alive, well, and living in NYC.
                • Say hi for me
              • HAAA! I was wondering
                • what the anonimity of the internet can do to some.
          • The biggest new boat that I ever bought was
