Review Your Boat<br />
SOUTHWINDS is looking for boaters to review their own<br />
boat. We found readers like to read reviews by boat owners.<br />
If you like to write, we want your review. It can be<br />
long or short (the boat, that is), a racer, a cruiser, new or<br />
old, on a trailer or in the water. Photos essential. If it’s a<br />
liveaboard, tell us how that works out. Or—is it fast<br />
