BOAT REVIEWS: We take you aboard the finest trailerable small craft in the world, from the smallest daysailer to the biggest trailerable cruiser! We even review sailboats long out of production! From in-depth technical information to feedback from owner-sailors, you learn a boat's every characteristic and quality, good or bad. Can you really sleep in those quarterberths? How dry does she ride in a blow? How does she sail to weather? Is she unusually prone to capsize or knockdown? Does she have a dangerous lee helm? How is her light-air performance? Does her hull "oilcan"? Get the scoop from those who really know! Click here to see a list of previous issues and the boats reviewed in each.
INTERVIEWS: From fearless adventurers to respected designers, we go one-on-one with important and legendary names in small boats.
WHERE TO SAIL: Do you really care about the crew who sailed their 50-foot yacht to Bermuda? Neither do we! We're more interested in the guy who explored the sailing grounds near his home on a weekend voyage. We tell you about the places that interest the small-boat cruiser. Places in your back yard! From the San Juans to The Keys, and the lakes, rivers and bays between.
HOW-TO ARTICLES: We show you how to make your boat perform to its potential, and how to maintain it and its related equipment.
MUCH MORE: Small Craft Advisor reviews books, videos, plans for the home boatbuilder, hardware—any new product that promises to make small-boat cruising easier, safer or more enjoyable. And now a Great Video with boat profiles and racing footage. |
