A Note from Editor Sam Jefferson
Who said summer sailing was all about gentle breezes? 2024 has certainly bucked the trend and Sailing Today with yachts and Yachting follows suit. First up, we look back at a storm tossed Round the Island Race and Peter Morton, skipper of winning yacht Notorious tells us how he turned a wild ride into victory. Sticking with amped up sailing, we take the new Jeanneau Sun Fast 30OD for a spin and enjoy the thrills and spills of sailing a stripped out racer designed for the many, not the few.
Slowing down to an altogether more sedate pace, we head for the tranquil waters of the Ionian where veteran sailor Nic Compton explores some of the more peaceful corners of this cruiser’s heaven. Meanwhile, Rod Heikell takes a look at how Homer’s Odyssey has shaped the cruising landscape of Greece and we also look at some un myth-able Greek anchorages. Closer to home, we head to the Scillies where intrepid contributor Tim Good opted to go for a summer cruise with his wide and one year old daughter. A Scilly idea? You can be the judge.
In addition, we have expert advice on the latest weather routing software plus the finest columnists in marine journalism including Rom Cunliffe, Andy Rice, Jess Lloyd-Mostyn and Paul Heiney.
