About The Publication:

“A niche magazine covering subjects of interest to the Average Joe or Jane sailor who owns and maintains their own sailboat.

We expect all submitters to be familiar with our magazine and content.” Welcomes new writers. “If you’re a new writer with a good story and good photos, we’ll work with you to whip your words into shape.” Pays 60 days before publication. Publishes between 3 months to a year after acceptance. Accepts reprints. Responds within a month.

“Short-and-sweet, wish-I’d-thought-of-that DIY pieces are always in demand.” All payment is listed online by department. Pays $50 to $750 per story.

Hints:

“Our writers’ guidelines are on our website and they are comprehensive. Please read them. We don’t want the text of your story in the body of an email. We don’t want photos embedded in your Word text doc. We encourage video that accompanies stories and pay extra for it.”
