New online motorboat magazine

[Deleted User YDKXO]

Found this at LIBS http://www.motorboatowner.co.uk/index.php and haven't seen it mentioned on the forum before so I thought I'd give everybody a heads up. Its free to subscribe and seems like a good read, although obviously aimed at the budget end of the market. I hope it succeeds

Forum member Neale is the editor I think.

Correct. If you register, his system will ping you a connection for the latest edition. Works brilliantly on my iPad, and is a useful read.

Yes, Neale and Claire from MBM are the editors, and IMHO I think it's a great publication and in this day and age in the marine world it's hard to believe it is completely free. Saw them at LIBS today, both very friendly and a pleasure to have met them.

Been signed up from first issue and it's very good, but this is a forum run by IPC media…

And to be fair have no issue with publicising their mag / business.

That's two beers you owe me Neale.

Not sure if it's my over zealous spam filter or not, but I only ever got the first issue. It seemed to be a worthy publication with plenty of meat though. That said, imho paper always beats screens.

Still there's no archive. I missed the first couple and it'd be great to catch up...

Really good publication - exactly fits my profile by looking at the more affordable end of motor boating. I'd love a spankers P62, but it ain't going to happen, and Emma and Neale nicely cover things I can actually do and afford.

Don't worry Richard - still an MBM subscriber and loved the P43 review this month. Shame I can't afford one!

Fitzroy - got them all downloaded in iBooks. If you know a way I can get them to you, I'm happy to forward them on. I'm no ios expert though, so you'll need to tell me what to do!

Thanks. I've just been back on to the site and it's now possible to download back issues once logged-in.

Please can you share how as I also missed the first few issues and now have plenty of time to catch-up, but can't find the archive?

I also subscribe to the Brilliant "Powerboat & Rib" Magazine,
looking at the front cover page of January/February issue where they show a Nimbus 365 Coupe you could mistake the magazine for a Motorboat & Yachting.
The magazine has improved greatly in the last few months.
I read it despite the fact that I have gone back to having a Yacht (If you can call having a Motor Sailor a yacht)
And when you subscribe to it, you get a "Free Pair of Socks"
Try it, you wont be disappointed.

This should be clear on the homepage, but I think the website is a work-in-progress.

How? I can't seem to find it on iBooks.

Being able to download onto Newsstand would be great...

Excellent WebMag.
Good indepth bit on Broom in last issue.Would probably be of some interest to 99% of forumites.

For your information : hotmail puts emails from motorboatowner.co.uk into spam, so make sure you un-spam it when registering.

Neale you may want to have a word with someone re; IT. I inadvertently registered twice ( once personally, once company) and both addresses ended up in junk which suggests that the various spambots have mistakenly decided your domain is sending junk - as they occasionally do for high volume sites.
