Olympic skiff sailing is in the spotlight this issue as we get up close and personal with Team GBR's talented 49er squad members, who aren’t making life easy for the selectors. Meanwhile, we get a first look at the RS900, a strong contender for the women's skiff class in 2016. The big boat classes kick off 2012 with stunning conditions at Key West Race Week and the Volvo racers relive that 1,000-mile upwind leg to finish in Sanya.

And that's not all...

  • Damian Foxhall in his own words
  • On board an AC45 with Jimmy Spithill
  • Sailing in the Middle East (it's the new Caribbean you know...)
  • How to win in a 145-strong fleet
  • How Nick Craig really won yachtsman of the year

Plus... New boats, choosing the right boat, choosing the right harness, fitting out your boat and all the results from the UK and beyond.
