500 times SAIL! The new issue of the Sailing Newspaper is on newsstands and digital!

Welcome aboard the August issue of the Sailing Newspaper, on newsstands and digitally! Issue 500, to be precise. A milestone that, back in 1975, when Mario Oriani created the magazine, seemed so far away, but instead we found ourselves celebrating in the editorial office! And coinciding with the 45th anniversary celebration of dear old GdV!

In the meantime, we give you a small taste of what you will find in the 124 pages of the August GdV that await you, packed with exclusive content.

SUMMER BOAT GUIDE

We have put together an 18-page maxi special for you where you will find everything you need for your happy cruise. First of all, we explain all the tricks for boat fishing, from choosing the right rod to the fishfinder, which can now be safely installed even on sailboats.

How many people these days ask us for advice on child-proof cruising! So we interviewed an expert on the subject, Fabio Portesan, who has been living for years now on his Oceanis 430 with his family, two children ages 6 and 12, and two cats. Who better than he could reveal how to give your children an unforgettable and safe cruise.

Next, let’s talk about meteorology. But we will not give you the usual advice on how to predict the weather “off the top of your head.” Today there is technology, not taking advantage of it would be stupid. Together with meteorologist Riccardo Ravagnan, we explain how modern professional forecasting systems can come to your aid so you will never find yourself in bad water. And which ones are the best on the market.

Often in cruising, when the wind drops, the engine automatically turns on. But by rethinking our mental approach, planning our movements in a simple way, preparing the boat to the best of our ability, and with the right sail play, we can avoid it. Together with one who understands no small amount about adjustments and sails, Vittorio d’Albertas, we explain how to get to that extra half knot that makes all the difference. And that will really keep you entertained on the cruise.

Last, but not least: the world of accessories. We have selected for you the products that will make your vacation peaceful, comfortable, safe and… in step with the times. From a bike that fits in your locker to a drone and underwater camera, from an inflatable kayak to space-saving cookware!

WHAT OUR DIGITAL BOAT SHOW WILL LOOK LIKE
Do you want to know how Milano Yachting Week, the home of “sea lovers,” which will open its digital doors on Sept. 15, is shaping up in the web ocean? We reveal the behind-the-scenes look at the first true digital show and how it will be navigated from smartphones, PCs and tablets.

WHERE ITALIANS ARE AT HOME
For a fun, safe, “proximity” cruise, we propose six must-do itineraries between Corsica and Croatia: these are two magnificent and reliable destinations, as well as very close and “used to” welcoming Italians well…

THE GRAND SLAM OF SAILING
In a great feature, we tell you how the offshore classics, the America’s Cup saga, and the myth of round-the-world sailing came about. We reveal the behind-the-scenes of the most important and famous international regattas and more. Seven stories all to be discovered, seven great adventures, with more or less ancient roots and a future yet to be written. And that a true sailor must have experienced at least once in his life.

BOATS OF THE MONTH
This month we have analyzed three very different boats for you. The first, the Scuderia 65 just launched by Adria Sail, is a thoroughbred performance cruiser ready to change her skin from racing to cruising. Then comes the Bavaria C42, designed by Studio Cossutti: a 13-meter with an innovative hull that provides comfort-a hallmark of the shipyard-and performance. This is the modern Bavaria. We close on two hulls, with theExcess 12. A catamaran capable of good performance due to the excellent ratio of displacement to sail area.

IN PRACTICE.
Also rich in topics is our column devoted to technology and education: we explain how to easily download SSB weather forecasts with a small radio and an offline app and how, with grippiale and “salmon,” you will stay safer at roadstead.

MICA IS NOT THE END OF THE STORY!
These are just a few reasons why to get on board the August issue of the Sailing Journal. You will find all the info to participate in the VELA Cup and the new ITA 4000 race format, the latest accessories on the market, all the news from the shipyards, trivia, tips for your cruising and much, much more.
