I've just been able to read the PDF file you have send me.
I will chime in with all the others and say that I got several hours of excellent enjoyment out of it. The magazine really had a good spread of topics and info. Of course I'm a little biased because of the vectorworks Marine article but I enjyed the SL16 and Tornado Carbon and other stuff as well.
It also gave me an idea.
In the past the catsailor magazine was localized to the USA because of postage and sorts. But now that you make the magazine using Acrobate you could make it a world spanning magazine ! It will be really simple to send the PDF file per e-mail to readers oversees. Acrobat reader is free to download and nearly everybody today has a fast PC with fast internet connection. International money transfer is also easier than never before especially with creditcards.
So what do you say ? Shall we make the Catsailor magazine a world spanning magazine ?

Upon paying the magazine fee you can give them a username and password. Upon cancellation to block that userid/password combination. This certain takes care of inbox sizes. Wouter

Sure this was a distance race and all kinds of funny meteological things may have happened but anybody staying withing sight of Glenn Ashby is doing something right.
The race is :
