Hello!
Many thanks to Jim Maier for allowing me into your forum. I am the publisher of Classic Yacht magazine, available free online at classicyachtmag.com. I publish Classic Yacht as a labor of love during my free time "for those who love great boats". I'm a 33 year-old mechanical engineer and yacht designer by day. I worked for the naval architecture firm that consulted on the 63' Sundancer hull in the 1990s and my family owns a 2004 Sea Ray 185 Sport.
I launched Classic Yacht magazine as a way to highlight great boats, many from the 1970s and '80s that don't get a lot of press in the paper magazines anymore. A good example of this is the story in the Spring issue about the 23rd fiberglass boat Chris Craft ever built, a 38' Commander that has enjoyed a complete restoration in Australia.
We're an online magazine, not a forum, so we present stories like a traditional print magazine. I am interested in finding someone on your forum who has modernized or restored a mid-to-late '70s Sea Ray, perhaps one of the lesser-known models, to possibly feature in an upcoming issue.
I invite all of you to subscribe for free to Classic Yacht, and I hope it will change the way you think about boating magazines. I hope you'll find Classic Yacht enjoyable and informative. I've not assumed I can jump into your forum without first introducing myself, but I hope I'll be welcome to participate.
Cheers,
Bill Prince
