2013 was an outstanding year for sailing. On YachtsandYachting.com we saw readership growing and implemented a raft of improvements to enhance your experience on the site. Here's what's new for 2014...
Features, features, features
We'll continue to bring you all the latest news from the world of sailing, and this year we are working with stand-out yachting writers, interviewing top sailors and reviewing the latest gear.
Don't miss Andy Rice's opinions on all the contentious issues in the sailboat racing world. We're also covering the Caribbean yachting and superyacht circuit with Louay Habib's regular blogs and David Henshall will be keeping you up-to-date with all the news from the thriving classic small-boat scene.
Have you seen our new app and mobile website?
Mobile phone and tablet use of YachtsandYachting.com has grown massively over the last 12 months. With more and more readers wanting their sailing news on the go, we've redesigned the look and feel of our mobile website, www.yandy.co.uk.
The latest version of our 'Sailing News' app has just been released for Android devices (including Kindles in the Amazon Store) which mirrors the new look and feel. Download now for free by just searching for 'Sailing News' in the app store! The iOS app for iPhones & iPads is coming soon!
Your site, your news!
If you haven't already set up your favourite clubs, classes, events and brands then do it now here! You can then view news from your Favourites on the YachtsandYachting.com homepage and receive email alerts when you want them, as news that interests you is posted.
We've integrated the Favourites system into our new mobile website and app giving you a personalised experience wherever you are.

We'll be at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show this weekend talking to various classes and exhibitors – watch out for the first of the videos which will be uploaded on Saturday!
