Thank you very much. There were many reasons why this could not be published earlier, including obtaining the necessary structural info and evidence. Anyway, the original point was that we were ‘scared to publish’ and I hope you will note that, despite Oyster being one of YW’s biggest...

Yeah but they were speculation. A bit like all this.

Yes it was thanks. Corrected. I can’t remember how to post images on vbulletin but if someone would like to tell me I’ll grab the pages and post

For the record: at least the bit about YW being ‘scared to print’ anything is total rot. We had a comprehensive 10-page report in June [correction: May] 2016, totally independent, including construction diagrams and explanation and interview with the skipper. It was one of the largest single...

There’s no plan to do that with back issues anyway. I’d certainly like to see more content online, paywalled or not, but we need to look at how to do that for all the titles, as there’s really a lot of content per month and getting it in digital form is pretty labour intensive. We’ve been...

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean a single forum? I’m thinking of setting up a small number of Facebook closed groups as well. They can provide a good, extra area for advice and easy sharing of images and video, though it wouldn’t take over from the forums (fora?) because they work so well...

The British Steel Challenge and latterly the BT Global Challenge ran from 1992 to 2004, four four-yearly races until the company went bust. There was quite substantial pre-race training from skippers over the years such as Pete Goss, John Chittenden, Mike Golding, Conrad Humphreys, Dee Caffari...

Hello forumites, I posted a little while ago with some explanations about the seismic upheavals for those of us who work at Yachting Monthly, Yachting World, Practical Boat Owner and Motor Boat & Yachting. As I explained at the time some of our group took voluntary redundancy this summer as part...

Great comments and suggestions here and some very good ideas for us to take on board. Will have another look at Destinations. Agreed about the forums. There's a mass of information here. BTW, I always enjoy your comments and explanations Flaming - from cruising and club racing to foiling...

Hi all, I have just posted an update on the situation at YM and PBO - the thread is here: http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?487645-Update-on-Yachting-Monthly-and-PBO Elaine

Hello forumites. I have seen and read all the comments on Scuttlebutt about the changes at Time Inc's marine titles and I know you're all owed an explanation about what is going on, so here it is. If you read down a bit, you'll also see that we're planning to revamp Yachting Monthly and give...

Yes it's fair to say Bill was one of the original trolls on our forums and delighted in a certain amount of mischief making. He certainly never missed an opportunity to fire a shot at the yachting magazines (though in fact he was a very regular contributor to Yachting World right through to the...

We'll certainly try, but it's a challenge to find time do this on all fronts in the plate-spinning digital universe - we tend to concentrate on the Yachting World website, and engage on Twitter, FB and a now also Instagram, Pinterest, Flipboard etc, and hope to leap into the forum if we think we...
