    BLUE WATER SAILING, CRUISING COMPASS & MULTIHULLS QUARTERLY

    Blue Water Sailing is now in its 22nd year of publication and reaches readers across North America and around the world. The magazine was founded by George and Rosa Day, who spent five years sailing and cruising their Mason 43 ketch on a west-about circumnavigation. Blue Water Sailing was designed to offer great sailing stories and real-world solutions for offshore sailors who need to fit out their cruising boats to meet the rigors of the ocean. In every issue, you will find authoritative articles written by known experts covering everything from sail related gear to the navigator’s table to the art of cruising.

    We also publish Multihulls Quarterly magazine for all those who enjoy sailing modern, spacious catamarans and swift, fine sailing trimarans.

    And, every week, we publish the e-journal Cruising Compass, which is your weekly fix of cruising news, technical advice, sailing resources and fun events.

    Fair winds,

    George & Rosa Day
