Marine Quarterly

[nathanlee]

Any subscribers on here?

I was unaware of the publication until last year when I contacted Sam Llewellyn regarding his Corribee, and he mentioned it. I promptly subscribed, and I must say, having now received two quarters worth of seagoing literary dream fodder, that it's perhaps the best marine publication out there; a real sailors take on putting to sea with none of the noise and fluff of unnecessarily dense adverts or page filling guides to buying things you really don't need.

Anyway, I thought I'd give it an entirely unprovoked plug, as dream kindling such as this is seldom produced these days, and while it's a tad pricey, it's worth every penny.

I agree, I've subscribed since the start. Great little publication

Indeed, not from the first issue but since the middle of last year.

Well written articles - how sailors from earlier days against the elements given the equipment they had is a true testament to their skill and bravery. And as ever, you can never know too much / learn something new.

As per Tom Cunliffe's quote: "The thinking sailor's journal."

Had a subscription for Christmas; I loved the first issue I've received, looking forward to the next one.

For those who receive it, is it worth the £40 a year subs (for 4 issues) & £10 per back issue?

Any particular issue really worth getting as a try out (perhaps east coast/small boat type cruising)?

I somehow get e mails about it, and the covers look very enticing.

I've had a sub since it started but didn't renew this year ... most of it interesting but some of it not ... found I was reading the whole thing very quickly and am not convinced it's worth a tenner a time. Full marks to Sam Llewelyn for the effort though.

+1 excellent publication.

Wholly recommend it.

Fantastic, I was looking at subscribing a while ago and lost track of it. This time I have signed up!

Me too, a great read. For the OP further up I would suggest reading it a bit at a time rather than all in one gulp, makes it more like a gin & tonic!

I'd never heard of it before I read this thread. I had a look at their web site, read a few samples which I enjoyed and ordered a back issue to see how it goes. Looks promising.

Is there a sample edition available?
