    YF's very own Judy Waldman has been chosen as one of a panel of judges at this year's 2014 IBEX...

    IBEX Innovation Award judges announced | Boating Industry

    There are many good writers that are members of BWI (Boating Writers International), but when I hire a writer, I'm not looking for someone who has a literary degree. I look for knowledge and experience. A few years ago I asked Judy to join our editorial team. Although she was an English major in college, she had never written a yacht review and had initial reservations about delivering the depth of content that we publish at YachtForums. Needless to say, she raised the bar. Congrats Judy!

    Congratulations Judy! I hope it is as big a blast for you as it is a feather in your cap. Couldn't have happened to a nicer lady.

    Thanks for your comments and support! I'm most appreciative that Carl took a chance on me and I feel so fortunate to be a part of the YF team. It's a great honor that BWI asked me to join their prestigious panel and it reflects so highly on YF.

    Seeing the new products being introduced will be exciting and I hope to have topics of interest for YF.

    Thanks to all!!

    Judy
