While sailing the Tornado I usually wrote a small piece before an event and a report after events. I always got space on magazines websites, and often a shortened report and eventual pictures in the magazines. The same for the local paper. Magazines and newspapers loves free digital materials, especially if the journalist kan do some small changes to the text and publish it. Getting your work into magazines is easy, the only cost is some exposure of your name and sometimes some heavy editing of your text. Send your text and pictures to the sports people in the paper, or any journalist/editor of sailing magazines. It's easy!
