About

Honest files on sailing boats — and the people who live around them.

Boat Tomorrow is two things: a working reference on sailing boats worth knowing, and a magazine about the people who arranged their lives around the water. Both run on the same rule — facts before romance.

The dossiers

For every boat in our Canon we write a dossier: what she’s actually like to own, the known problems, honest market prices, and the checklist you’d take to a viewing. Built from owner forums, surveys, market data and interviews — every dossier shows its sources and its revision date. If a boat has weaknesses, they’re listed; if the market overprices it, we say so.

The magazine

The other half is people: skippers, builders, harbourmasters, founders — portraits of the ones who traded the safe version of life for the windy one, and the places their lives run on. No champagne sunsets; the unglamorous machinery behind the romance is the interesting part.

Writes and edits Boat Tomorrow.

I came to sailing sideways, through surfing, and stayed for the thing underneath both: the wind, the elements, and the particular kind of person who builds a life around freedom rather than around avoiding it. I kept meeting those people in harbours and on docks and thinking someone should be writing them down. So I started.
