Back to the July Sailing Journal: there is a lot of meat on the fire, we reveal some “starters.”

1. SUMMER SPECIAL – TIPS, PLACES, TOP ACCESSORIES
This issue is rich, in fact very rich, in tips for experiencing 100% of your boating vacation: globetrotters Fabio and Marina Portesan reveal how to turn your boat into a home (they live there with babies and two cats), you just have to take cues to optimize the comfort on board. Comfort that also increases with the right accessories: in an extensive feature we have selected for you the “must-haves” of summer 2019. You won’t find “boring” products from old sea wolves, but up-to-date ideas for relaxing and enjoying the boat: such as Margarita’s robot that prepares you or apps that tell you where to find, at anchor, the best and cleanest sky.

Are you planning to vacation in the Adriatic? Together with the director of the Croatia Tourism Board in Italy, a passionate sailor, we tell you about places, bays and restaurants not to be missed in Croatia. And if you’re in Sardinia instead, there’s one more opportunity to explore the wild Maddalena archipelago: the VELA Cup on August 26, organized with the Caprera Sailing Center (we tell you everything you need to know). There is also no shortage of technique: with the experts from Be Skilled, the advanced sailing training school created by Water Tribe, we reveal all, but really all, of the checks you need to make on board in preparation for your summer cruise. Both before leaving and in the very first days of sailing

2. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOAT IN THE WORLD IS GONE
The story of the My Song, Pier Luigi Loro Piana’s 40-meter maxi yacht lost at sea by a freighter, has held sway for days on the web and in the newspapers. We reconstruct the story for you and tell you why the Cashmere King’s Baltic 130 was considered the world’s finest cruising boat, a concentrate of luxury and technology.

3. ALL A MATTER OF BOWS
We take you on a journey into the world of one of the elements that characterizes a boat. The bow: and we do it with an exceptional testimonial, designer Giovanni Ceccarelli, who tells you how the bows were, how they are, and how they will be. Unmissable summer reading!

4. BOATS OF THE MONTH
We have tested for you the new Bavaria C50 signed by Maurizio Cossutti, and we tell you about another dream boat: the P65 built by Persico and designed by Umberto Felci, a thoroughbred cruiser-racer. Among the smaller ones, we present Jeanneau’s Sun Fast 3300, a boat that will appeal greatly to lovers of offshore sailing…

5. TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND HOIST THE SAILS
How do “ordinary” sailors sail today? Is comfort just comfort? With Sailor of the Year Ambrogio Beccaria, a strong ocean sailor with a past as a skipper on cruising boats, we reflect on what direction everyone’s sailing is taking and how to best enjoy it.

Plus boats, sea stories, accessories, charter tips and more!

Don’t forget that only on the Sailing Newspaper do you have an extensive “buy and sell” section devoted to ads for used boats and accessories, and an always-updated list of what’s new on the market.
