Monday Editorial

by Rob Kothe & the Sail-World Team on 5 Feb 2007
Sail-World had a lot of fun with the 505 Worlds last week, with our mark rounding data allowing sailors around the world the chance to keep up with the racing, minute by minute.

One more reason why we had 70,000 visitors to Sail-World in January and expect a similar number in the short month of February.

Of course sailors could wait and read about the 505's in March or April, but funnily enough they voted with their mouses to find the news now. As ISAF ex-President says..the Internet is the THE sailing news source.

If you know of a marine company who needs exposure to our audience, suggest they call Liam on 0405497423.

Tom Braidwood will be at the Newcastle Brewery at 5pm tonight. We expect some tall stories there. Micah Lane and Jack McCartney from Vicsail were telling some this morning too.

Read about the Workforce Marine Mumm 30's and all the weekend racing.

One of our newer advertisers is Nauticalia, the marine story in the Rocks in Sydney. If you are Sydney based, make sure you go there...Valentine's Day is coming up and so is Mother's Day.

Let's go inshore, and how, with the 16-foot skiffs. Great action, and superb sailing. We'd been in supermaxi, mini maxi, double hander and serious weather mode for what seemed like some time. Then, as is the case at this time of year, there are a plethora of Australian Championships that get run, especially for OTB classes.
Posted on 11 Jan The complete package
A thriving clubhouse leads to higher racing attendance, and visa versa I'm a great believer in starting things on the right foot. Be that in the morning, going for a run (even though it was damn chilly this morning) to set yourself up for the day, or preparing ahead for a meeting so that you've got the figures to hand.

Rather, it is a reflection upon that the elements that an ‘ordinary' Hobart invariably involves
