Practical boat owner.

Anyone else recieved their subscription copy of the June Practical Boat owner yet?

There's a really useful RIB related 'Practical Project' in there

It did used to be a great magazine but over the past year it seems to be aimed more at big yachts whose owner has loads of money, I have neither a big yacht or loads of money!

Did it for a laugh more than anything, partly to see if they would publish something RIB related.

I am a bit pissed that they have changed some of the text to make it more 'yachty'.
I can gurantee I've never called any part of my deck 'the Sole', I only have those on my feet.

Oh, and it didn't cost me £25 either, they add that too.
