The test of the RS aero is now in Yachts & Yachting boat show edition. I think they may have liked it A 9 star rating!

If it approached the test from the POV of a family looking for a mixed usage dinghy with some racing, I can't see why it wouldn't get an A+, irrespective of the advertising spend....

Yep seeing as the spend was £0... We try and write our boat tests as honestly as possible and I think Peter Barton does a fair job of that. We match our testing team to the boat to make sure the person has the most experience to make an informed review. Edited by tgruitt - 06 Sep 14 at 11:57am |

I thought the article was fine. I think however the time has come to stop renewing my subscription, especially after reading the stupid article on school sailing. No balance and purely an opportunity to advertise private schools and further the pretence that sailing is for the financial elite. I'm shocked that Gael allowed the article frankly!

I stopped my subscription a while ago. One of my main complaints were the boat tests.
Can anyone remember the last one that was critical of the boat tested? There isn't even any information useful to an competent sailor in most of them that you couldn't have got out of the advertising bumph. And I'm sure it's got nothing to to do with the big players in the market withdrawing their advertising if things are written they don't like. Comparing a bike test to boat test is like comparing oil to water. |

And another one-after 35 years I've decided to cancel my subscription to Y&Y. I don't see much relevant to me in it any more.

Can't remember many crap boats lately to be honest, not like 15 or 20 years ago. The current major players seem to have their development process reasonably bugged, and the small ones mainly update existing classes where again the development is largely done. |
