Practical Sailor is your independent resource for sailboat, gear and equipment evaluations and reviews.
Let Practical Sailor be your “charts and markers” for the unfamiliar waters today’s boat, gear and equipment purchases.
For more than thirty-five years, Practical Sailor has been giving sailors unbiased buying guidance, honest product reviews and authoritative gear rankings. Practical Sailor tests boats and products in use, on the water, in the water . . . and sometimes, under the water. Bilge Pumps get run. Boats get sailed. Waterproof gear gets dunked. And then we share our findings with you.

- Maintain your boat’s bottom with the most effective products and techniques
- Sail safer with the latest safety gear and preparation advice
- Repair plumbing problems, electrical malfunctions, broken deck hardware
