What on earth has happened to the print quality. It looks as though half the pages were put through a washing machine before being inserted into the mag. Washed out and faded!

It's all right for you soft southerners. The latest edition hasn't made it to Scotland yet. At least I think not. You generally have to read it in detail to tell.

Mine is OK, although I did have a PBO copy that was badly printed about a year ago.

Ah! So that why they put a date several months ahead on the cover - to allow time for the steam packet to get it to our northern brethren.

Shan: I suggest you e-mail YM about this. It is something they will (or should) very much want to know about: they won't be happy about paying a printer who's evidently abandoned quality control and risked upsetting their readership.
At the very least YM ought to send you a new one and cover the cost of sending the washed-out one back. I've edited a few magazines in my time. In their shoes I'd be offering you free issues and knocking the cost off the print bill.

So that leave 1-27, 29-33, 35, 37, 40-44 and 46-end for Tom Cunliffe, less Vyv's contribution. I am agog.

Yachting Monthly magazine would be grateful if any readers who have badly printed copies of the latest issue would send it to the editor, Kieran Flatt. They can then take the matter up with the printer. The address is:
Kieran Flatt, editor
Yachting Monthly Magazine,
Time Ink (UK) Ltd
110 Southwark Street,
London SE1 0SU
The address is given on page 2 of the magazine but I confess that the writing is so small that I missed it.
Postage will be reimbursed and a pristine copy will be supplied in its place.

Yes, Vyv kindly sent me a PM offering the above.
On another note, I have just had a pm from a new user (no posts on the forum) asking for my address so she can send me a magazine. Can we have this user deleted, it is clearly a scam.

Apologies for the slight thread drift, but this morning I bought February's PBO while travelling through Amsterdams Schiphol Airport. My attention had been piqued by the promise of an article testing 4 forward facing sonars...
Anyway I read the magazine on the flight home, but still cannot find the article. Am I suffering from jet lag, or being a blind old numpty? Or is it not there???

The topic has been covered previously. PBO editor apologised for the omitted article. It is in the March edition (which came out in January :ambivalence

As Vyv's explained, it's in next month's edition which came out last month. Spoiler: the only one that was any good costs seven grand.
