mark_hartong's Full Review: Sailing World Magazine
Sailing, as a sport, is broken into two main activities- racing and cruising. "Sailing World" magazine is targeted for those sailors who engage in the former, while its sister magazine, "Cruising World" is targeted for the later.
When the "Sailing World" editors make the claim, the "authority on performance sailing", they aren't kidding- its all racing, all the time. Sailing World's entire emphasis is on speed at sea (under sail of course :-) ). No how to moonlight cruise tropical waters here, get Cruising World for that- Sailing World is about racing tactics, racing seamanship, racing safety, regatta and race results, racing hardware, sails, racing boats, and race skippers.
The fact that this magazine is one of the membership perks of US SAILING, the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport of sailing and sailboat racing in the United States should tell you something. Chosen by Congress as the NGB for the sport through the Amateur Sports Act, US SAILING's sole mission is to encourage participation and promote excellence in sailing and sailboat racing in the United States.
If you aren't REALLY interested in sailboat racing, don't get this magazine. But if you are out sailing back to the marina, meet up with another sailboat going in the same direction as you, then get this urge to get home first, then "Sailing World" is the magazine for you.
