From the Editor: January 2006
Notice any changes? We've been hard at work this month making Motor Boats Monthly look and read better than ever - we hope you like it! A good place to begin is with the new Boat Doctor, which starts on page 22. If you've got a query about motorboating, Boat Doctor lets us go into more depth than ever before in answering it. Why not give it a try? Turn to page 26 to see the first MBM Seatrial, of the Apreamare 45. Our seatrials are just as rigorous as our full tests, allowing us to bring you more expert opinion on new boats every month. On page 134 you'll find our buying challenge, in which we sent Carl into the marketplace with an imaginary £100,000 to spend. It's all part of our commitment to providing you with the best buying information there is, covering the second-hand market in more detail than ever before. As if all that wasn't enough, we've also re-vamped our cruising coverage. Turn to p98 for our in-depth guide to Oxford and the Upper Thames to see how we're delivering better, more useful articles. We've been asking you, our readers, what information you want to see - and here it is, all in one place. You'll also see new Skippers Club panels popping up throughout the issue. If you want to join, email me at simon_collis@ipcmedia.com, with Skippers Club in the subject line, including your name, make and model of boat, and cruising ground.
