They are available to all without a password. There were already a few copies on this site but they were password protected previously.

The intention is to add the previous issue each time a new one is published.

Let me know if you have any problems. I compressed them for an up-to-date version of Adobe Reader so make sure you have the latest version installed.
Thanks Liam, perfectly readable on my 8" tablet

Liam,
I never got a chance to reply, might have been busy reading back issues. I joined in 2008 but it was good to read the articles again (although I have got the print versions somewhere) and those that came before me.

So big thanks for making them available. If there are any prospective members I am sure they will join because they can see the quality of the magazine.

As an after thought, as well as the Boat Forum, the magazines give people a good opportunity to see more history about a certain boat.

In previous times when I was much more active on the circuit , I read all the write ups online and so the mag was a quick flick. Today the mag dropped through the letterbox and I am looking forward to putting my feet up, leaning back and enjoying finding out what my sailing mates have been up to. Good quality magazines in paper format never loose their lure, ask the readers of Time, Vanity Fair or Vogue. Those mags all have online offerings too. Vibe la papier!
