This magazine is my favorite sailing magazine. I race sailboats constantly and Sailing World really keeps me up to date. It has articles on everything I need to know for racing. There are sections on technology, news, strategy, boat handling, and any big races (America's Cup, Volvo around the world race, ect.).
The articles are really good. I especially like the ones that help in racing. These articles contain boat handling, rules, and strategy. These articles are in-depth and are really helpful. They are usually written by top sailors. They are easy to understand and are made to appeal to all racers. The other good articles are the tech-review ones. These articles show all levels of gear. They have reviews on the gear, prices, ect. Some of the better sailors also tell about what gear they like to use.
Last month, I got an entire issue about the America's Cup. It came out at about the same time the Luis Vitton Cup started. This issue is great if youre planning on watching the cup races. It had all of the normal sections but they were all about the cup. I really like this issue but people less into the cup would probably not. It would get very boring fast. This is an example of how the magazine really caters to racers.
Overall im very impressed with the magazine overall. Information is very useful and it is written very well. The magazine is a must for all competitive racers. Note: The same company that puts out sailing world makes a magazine called Cruising World that is for people who cruise boats.
P.S For a good laugh flip to the last page of the magazine. That's where Dr. Crash is. People send in funny letters and send in photos. Dr. Crash gives "advice" to these people.
