In the past, and that's when I quit subscribing, they just talked about bigger and ever bigger sailboats till the only "acceptable" sailboats in their eyes were something in the 40 foot and up size that cost at least $150K - without equipment. Maybe they lost so many subscribers that they had to rethink their editorial policy, and swallowing their pride, now can talk about a 21 foot boat. Oh what a denouement ....! Connie
Imagine my surprise when I opened my mailbox and found a Wrinkle Boat on the cover of the August issue of SAIL. It tuned out to be a Norseboat 21.5. Not only that, but there were a number of articles on our kind of small boat sailing. “Beach Cruising” by Roy Hoddinolt about sailing in a Sea Pearl 21, “Nuts & Bolts of Sail Camping” by Ida Little & Michael Walsh in the Bahamas for months. “Yrvind the Swede” sailing in home built boats 14’ to 19’ across oceans and even around the Horn. A Side Bar in which most of the small boats we subscribe too were mentioned, Sage 17 even had an ad in this issue. It also contained an article “Something for the Weekend” about a ½ dozen boats one would read about in SCA or GOB which I also subscribe to.
Since the cat is out of the bag about my getting SAIL you might as well know that I also get “Cruising World” and have been thinking about getting “Classic Boats” :-)
