    Yachting magazine has a fairly new page at the end of each issue titled "In Our Wake"

    The Aug 07 issue had a rather interesting observation:
    "In 1987, Yachting focused about 80% of its coverage on SAIL"

    I spoke about going back thru some older issues (early 60's) of Rudder mag when I wrote this posting on Rhodes & Alden Motorsailers. Well mixed in with some of these old issues of Rudder were also some old issues of Yachting. What a contrast between the amount of coverage of the subject of sailing compared to that of power boats.

    No need to get either side offended....just an observation
