Hi all As Al said, these are available free to subscribers. http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/subscriber/?scategory=4 - Clicky Unfortunately we can't give these away free since they cost alot to produce, but you can purchase the PDF for £1.50 per test. http://yachtsandyachting.com/shopv51/product.asp?numRecordPosition=1&P_ID=313&PT_ID=101 - Clicky I hope this helps.

cheers Mark. Its good that youve already thought of this and done something about it. Is there a data base of older tests fromt the 90's? its just general interest as i had to get rid of my Y&Y collection when i moved house (every issue since 1989!) cheers ------------- https://skiff-media.teemill.com/" rel="nofollow - T-SHIRTS https://www.photo4me.com/profile/23908/" rel="nofollow - PRINTS |

| I'm afraid not - that was before we moved over to digital production of the magazine so nothing was stored as a PDF. The process would involve page by page scanning, resulting in a low quality but high file size and would be very time consuming. |
