Practical Sailor is working on updating some used boat reviews and adding some new ones to our online library, and we need your help. Were looking for opinions (and photos) from current or former owners of the following boats: Cabo Rico 38, Com-Pac 35, Cheoy Lee Clipper 42, Stuart Knockabout, Express 37, and CSY 37.

If you own or have owned any of these boats, please send an email to practicalsailor@belvoirpubs.com. We are interested in hearing about the boats sailing performance, construction quality (rig, rudder, hatches and ports, deck hardware, hull, deck), problem areas, highlights; general pros and cons, and any worthwhile modifications or improvements.

Feel free to suggest other boats to review in the future as well.

Weve recently improved our advanced search tool at www.practical-sailor.com, making it easier to explore our extensive archive. The advanced search is right below the Search box on the upper right-hand corner of the home page. If you still can’t find a specific Practical Sailor test or gear report we published, try Google. Simply go to www.google.com, enter Practical Sailor, along with whatever product youre searching for, and you should see the most recent, most relevant search results.

If youre social-media savvy and new to PS, be sure to sign up for our Waypoints online newsletter, and Like us on Facebook to get sailing and boat-owning tips.
