Sailing Today with Yachts & Yachting? Takeover?

   I hope it's not permanent. This covid situation may have promoted it but it could well become a permanent change

	Both magazines have a printed circulation of 30K. Sailing today has been since 1997 but hasn’t got a particular strong online presence. Chelsea magazines have number of publications, Classic Boat 50K and English Home ? 71K. Advertising revenue will be reduced as we are surely doing to loose a few sailing business - I imagine we are close to Sailing Industry Black Friday- day. I imagine Y&Y will only exist on line next year, how much will our community pay for exclusive content?

	Given the current situation, I'd say the title Sailing Today is a bit of a non-starter.

	Well maybe it's me with an old guard perspective but I'd have thought Yachts & Yachting with Sailing Today would have been more appropriate given the Yachts & Yachting titles seniority, or have things changed that much in lead mine world.. Either way fully agree, no coming back from this, Y&Y is done as a print entity, does Sailing Today even have an online presence, can't really be asked to even look..

	Lots of things won't survive, who would have thought this time last year when planning for Bank Holiday weekend, that in 2020 we would be checking our food supplies.

	If you read the notes it says only for the duration of Covid 19.

	Sailing Today frequently in news agents when Y&Y isn’t. People than need to add lots of weight to their boats so they can sail them are far more attractive to advertisers than real sailors.

	I don't know when it happened but suddenly I find that all glossy magazines seem outrageously expensive. It could be that I've become all miserly with age or that magazines have had to increase cover prices as circulation has fallen. Heavy glossies also seem rather wasteful to me nowadays and best will in the world if you subscribe to pretty much any hobby magazine for more than two years you'll see the same topics being rehashed Is there a place for a cheaper newsprint magazine, I believe MCN is still going.
