Blue Water Sailing
VerifiedMagazine
Blue Water Sailing is now in its 20th year of publication, reaching readers across North America and in 66 countries around the world. The magazine was founded by circumnavigators George and Rosa Day, who spent five years sailing and cruising their Mason 43 ketch around the world.
From the start, Blue Water Sailing was designed to showcase great sailing stories from cruisers around the world and to provide real world solutions for offshore sailors who need to fit out their cruising boats to meet the rigors of the ocean. Every issue features authoritative articles written by known experts in their fields covering everything from sail related gear and the navigator's table to the art and science of living aboard a cruising sailboat.
