BLUEMOMENT

We have been very fortunate in being given permission to reproduce some of Good Old Boat Magazine's articles on the site.

The first one is an extensive review of the Albin Vega (can't imagine why we chose that one to include first) - but there are many more to come, so keep watching the articles section of the site. (In fact there is a tracker you can subscribe to on the Articles index page which wil inform you whenever new articles are added).

There are links from the articles to a form for a free sample copy of GOB magazine as well . . . it's a great mag, aimed squarely at MAB owners, with no equivalent in the AWB/IPC-dominated market over here.

Have a look at the Vega review at http://www.bluemoment.com/boatreviews/vegareview.html and watch this space for more GOB articles in the New Year.

but hearty congratulations anyway on the link with the worthy GOB. Do they have any Hurley 22 articles by any chance, perhaps?

A guid New Year tae you an' yours.

happy new year - just testing

Reading through some back issues of sailing magazines, I came across August 2004 of Sailing Today which has a 6 page article on the Hurley 22. She came out well.

Quote " Verdict - the Hurley 22 is a small, but very seaworthy cruising boat that genuinely deserves its reputation for being stiff, stable and safe. Many have sailed across the Atlantic and beyond without incident. Her only disadvantage is her narrow accomodation and lack of headroom." "For - Seakindly performance, very solidly built, attractive" "Against - cramped accomodation, headroom"

Of the five alternatives considered, one was the Albin Viggen, which above the waterline, looks just like a smaller Vega.

Sailing Today, May 2006 has an article on the Hurley 24/70, which also came out well.
