HO HO HO! Celebrating Christmas isn’t officially meant to start until December 1, so please forgive us for starting a day early! We just couldn’t help ourselves and have packed 50 gift ideas, for you to either add to your wish list or buy for that special someone this year, into the issue – from small stocking fillers, right up to bigger presents, and everything in between. We have gifts for him, gifts for her, gifts for the young ones, and books galore! We also have plenty of reaction to ISAF’s recent decisions… our readers’ letters page is buzzing with response, whilst our columnists Andy Rice, Jeremy Evans, and Bob Fisher also share their views. What’s more our racing classes guide continues with a review of keelboat and racing yacht classes. If all that’s not enough, then you won’t want to miss our offshore round-up of the 2007 season, a focus on the new Mk3 Mirror, a profile of Lizzie Vickers, tuning advice from top dinghy sailors, and a closer look at rotomoulded construction.
