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.
