So are you suggesting that the RS Aero - a thread was started on their by their Editor - is aimed at dicks?
That's a little harsh.... even for the arsey choccy bar dinghy.

Der never? Didn't even know they did dinghy reviews, 1) They're dicks, 2) Mostly they're yank dicks which means dickness cubed, 3) Convicts go there and it smells.

I think you need JimC to recount his tales of the dinghy show manning 'cool boat' stands- talk to folks for ages, enthuse them about different types of dinghies and sailing opportunities out there; then watch them walk over to the Laser stand and write a cheque for a new boat..... if RS aren't advertising in Y&Y, then there's good reason and they must perceive it lacks the ROI.
I guess sponsoring Sailing Anarchy is different.... when was the last time you read one of their dinghy reviews? It's just crowd-sourced content..... and a good sh*t fight.

It's difficult for me to tell, even though I can do it a bit better now, I still haven't committed to the Charisma By Pass Surgery required to be really good.

aren't most dinghy sailors devoid of the emotion that impulse purchasing connects with?

That's only because new stuff isn't marketed to them in a manner that accommodates impulse purchase.

it sounds like a lot of work for not much return Graeme. I also don't know what kind of value it would really have as either a) a sales / advertising platform or b) an impact into 'group think' of dinghy sailors.
In the end most will still buy, what is it, 'old dross' for class racing. And who can blame them...

I seem to remember paying to drive down to Hayling to 'test' the RS100, you don't need to pay folk to do what they love, you just need one person to oversee it and a strict guideline to what you do on a test to give your readers confidence, and you call out the bad points. |

Guess if its balanced and fair the magazine, perhaps if they did these things they would sell more copies and the cost wouldn't be a problem. increased readership may encourage people like RS to start advertising in the printed mag again!
