To keep you getting your daily racing fix...

From 25 March you will need to have subscribed in order to read madforsailing

Madforsailing.com, your No1 racing website is to start charging for access. From March 25th, if you want to view anything other than the home page you are going to have to pay.

How much? If you sign up in advance of 25 March then it'll be the piffling sum of £14.99 per annum.

Why? Simple economics. Unlike other sailing websites we employ top yachting journalists to write original copy to bring you the best coverage of sailing worldwide, period. These journalists like to eat, so we have to pay them. The revenue generated through advertising sales and commissions on merchandise sales through the site don’t get anywhere near covering the costs. Madforsailing.com has always believed in editorial independence and that our knowledgeable audience demands quality content delivered when it happens and the move to subscription will enable us to continue to uphold these values and deliver even better coverage.

So it is to you, dear reader that we turn. We are asking you to put your hands in your pockets to ensure the world’s best sailing website continues to deliver 365 days a year (no we don’t get Christmas Day off - someone has to do the Sydney-Hobart preview!).

£14.99 per year, or less than the price of one rum and coke per month.

Cancel that magazine subscription that granny bought you (who reads sailing magazines anymore anyway?), sign up for madforsailing.com and go and spend the rest in the pub.

Sign up now, and save £10. From the 25th March the price of an annual subscription will go up to the full price of £24.99.

So go on, do it, NOW!!!
