Ive counted 72 boat tests on the website, ranging from the RC Laser to keelboats. Surely you must be a subscriber, feva_sailor: I can't imagine Y&Y magazine being available at your local newsagents!

So are you based in Dubai? Are there a lot of expats there? (assuming you are British, of course)
Do you have any pics of sailing, so we can all be dead jealous of the sunshine?

thnx

72 - wow that is a lot.

I'd be interested to see how many of those the boats recieved a rave review and how many got panned Clarkson style ...

I don't think I have ever read a bad test in Y&Y. There are sometimes areas of boats that they say they are 'disappointed' in but they have rarely if ever panned a boat. I think this could be because they look at the market the boat is aimed at and then write the review based on the target audience.

The Solution got a very good review when it was tested, just want to get my mitts on the test one.....

I do not remember any boat ever getting "panned Clarkson style".
