As we approach the re-launch, we are keen to ensure that the title is made available in as many newsagents as possible around the UK and Overseas.
So if you were not able to find us before, just ask your local newsagent to order us in. It is literally as simple as just asking!!
The first re-launched edition is out on March 27th.
Looking at the concept drawings for the E.S.P. catamaran (www.designnobis.com) you could be forgiven for thinking you were looking at sketches for a new jet fighter in Star Wars. It is state of the art and so it should be - after all it is planned to be the first 100% emission free vessel to be built.
The Electric Sailing Project is looking for the support, participation and help of manufacturers, organizations, and individuals. They will design and build a revolutionary 70 feet ocean going catamaran which will become a floating exhibition of modern day enviro pro technologies "working together". Once afloat, the E.S.P. Catamaran will be 100% emissions free.
It will use Electric Motors for propulsion. Hydrogen on demand will be made from salt water to feed Fuel Cells creating electricity. Hulls, decks and sails will be designed to function as solar collectors. also wind and tow generators will be generating electricity from air and water. No fossil fuel for propulsion or generating electricity will ever be needed.
It is great to see a project that not only pushes the boundaries in yacht design but also could be creating the vessel of the future. We wish them the very best of luck and keep you posted on how things develop.

Murder and love often go hand in hand, a fact not missed by the ss Great Britain this Valentine's Day. The ship, now in her original Dry Dock in Bristol, is hosting a Valentine's Murder Mystery Dinner.
Set during the 1920s in the ship's Promenade Deck and First Class Dining Saloon, the children and grandchildren of the ship's passengers have been invited to uncover a dark secret. There is love in the air, but also revenge and...murder!
The script is based on true events and characters that have been researched by the actors on board and assisted by information from the Dockyard Museum. Alhough there is no record of murder, many believe the disappearance of the ship's Captain Gray during a voyage between Australia and England to be dubious.
The Valentine's Day theme is carried across into the menu for the evening as well which includes heart of smoked salmon cornets, breast of chicken with champagne and forest mushroom sauce and strawberries dipped in bitter chocolate. Guests will be expected to enter into the spirit of the event and dress up in 1920's costume.
For more information or to book call ++44 (0) 117 926 0680 or visit www.ssgreatbritain.org. The event costs £60 per person

As part of its soon to be opened Under the Sea exhibition, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall is celebrating the work of three award winning underwater photographers.
From 28 January, Alex Mustard, multiple winner in the two most prestigious competitions for underwater photographers: the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and World Festival of Underwater Photography in Antibes, France, JP Trenque, winner of the BBC News Photographer of the Year and chair of the British Society of Underwater Photographers (BSoUP), and Mark Webster, silver and bronze winner at the CMAS World Championships, will have a number of their award winning images displayed within the new major exhibition showing man's exploits under the sea.
The British Society of Underwater Photographers was formed in 1967 and with over 200 members is the largest underwater photographic society in Britain. The Society is dedicated to encouraging and developing underwater photography in all its aspects, both film and digital. Its members vary from divers who have just started to take underwater photographs to eminent professionals who lead the world.
Talking about his work, Mark Webster says: "Having lived in Cornwall for over 30 years, it's a real privilege to have my work on display in Cornwall's Maritime Museum. As a well established photo-journalist, I've seen a lot of incredible events at sea and there is one image within the exhibition that instantly takes me right back to when it was taken. A basking shark was trapped in a gill net in Mounts Bay and the memory of photographing, rescuing and reviving this incredible creature will stay with me always and I hope visitors to this exhibition are as moved by my work as I have been taking the shots."
Alongside the images are objects chronologically charting the development of underwater photography. Discover the Calypsophot, developed for Jacques Cousteau's underwater research group which featured in the Bond thriller Thunderball, and admire an early Rolleiflex camera from 1951.

Sydney's only authentic timber tall ship - Svanen - has just completed a major refit under the watchful eyes of a new ownership and management team and is available for BBQ Lunch Cruises, Twilight Cruises, charters and for special events including the forthcoming Australia Day.
An oak three-masted Barquentine, Svanen (meaning 'Swan') is originally from Denmark and is of great cultural significance to Sydney as she served as flagship of the Bicentennial First Fleet re-enactment voyage from Plymouth, UK in 1988. She is now the last of the ships to remain on Sydney Harbour.

Every year since 1997, La Morue en Fete has presented a feast for lovers of old sailing ships and boats and with a taste for traditional seafaring music. Held in the small Breton town of Binic, once the principal morue (salt cod) port of France, the event showcases many vessels which have been lovingly restored by their owners and which are regularly sailed in the seas around France and England. The town itself is built around the ancient port, now a flourishing marina, and the event is held in the streets and cobbled lanes around the port. The 10th event last year attracted almost 50,000 visitors and it is expected that this year’s event will attract many more.
This year’s festival starts on Thursday 1st of May at 1700 with an arrival parade by old sailing vessels and restored fishing boats of all types which will then be on view in the port. The following three days will be filled with events ranging from displays of long forgotten shipwrights skills, through to folk, Celtic rock and traditional concerts by Breton and visiting musicians and a grand fireworks display held in the port. As the reason for the festival is to remember the hard labours of the Breton fishermen who fished for cod in Newfoundland waters in the 1850s visitors will be able to sample ‘morue’ at one of the many food stalls crowding the quays of the port.
Owners of treasured old sailing ships and fishing boats who wish to attend with their vessels will be made most welcome and should make contact in advance as detailed below.
