As a 6 years subscriber I can say that they have a new editorial policy
having trouble with anything that is new. So the editorial approach now
is not anymore what it used to be: everything oK as long as it's wooden
and it floats, high tech or archeological would not matter... The policy
now is everything taht looks old fashioned is fine... too bad if we will
be missing multihulls, ice boats, wooden composite contruction, new
design, it has to look old.
After all they cater to a public of over 50 yrs WB addicts (theri
statistics), a bit like feeding the dinosaurs...
sad to say, they're probably shutting doors to the future (wooden of
course..)
