2013 was an outstanding year for sailing. On YachtsandYachting.com we saw readership growing and implemented a raft of improvements to enhance your experience on the site. Here's what's new for 2014...

Features, features, features

We'll continue to bring you all the latest news from the world of sailing, and this year we are working with stand-out yachting writers, interviewing top sailors and reviewing the latest gear.

Don't miss Andy Rice's opinions on all the contentious issues in the sailboat racing world. We're also covering the Caribbean yachting and superyacht circuit with Louay Habib's regular blogs and David Henshall will be keeping you up-to-date with all the news from the thriving classic small-boat scene.
