I Finally Got Mine Too!

My issue came in yesterday wrapped in plastic with an apology letter from the publisher. He apologized that there were printing problems and that they were responsible. He took the blame and promised that they would straighten themselves out. I hope you all recieve your copies too (with the explanation!).

Me too

Mine arrived today, plastic bag, letter of explanation, no hat. I had heard it contained an article on sailing simulation software, but that seems to have been a false rumour. I'm glad to see Sail made good on their subscriptions.

The Plot Thickens

Todays mail contained a second February issue of Sail in a plastic bag, no hat this time. The bag also contained another letter from Josh Adams, however this letter offered a different excuse than the first one. This time my issue was mistakenly held up at the printer. I hope every subscriber is getting their missing Feb issue, I feel bad that I now have two, and two different excuse letters.

Well, I will continue to hold my breath too...

Now I will have to keep a monitor on the mailbox. I had all but given up on the February issue. I am a commercial printer, and can't imagine what would have been the hold up. It is possible that they came up short on press, that is a nightmare, I can attest to that.Ross in Tampa

SAIL, came today with an apology....I will drop my

class action lawsuit and stop taking prozac.abe

 

[Ross in Tampa]

mine was waiting for me when I got home...

Thank you Sail for the belated February issue. It has arrived safely and I have begun to enjoy it. Does this mean that my subscription has not been extended one month??? Just kidding, but, I would wear a hat, hint hint.

2 issues

Just got in from a 10-day vacation and the mailman pulled up the same time I did. Had both the February and March issue in his hand ready for me. Haven't had time to look at either one, yet.

???

I just received a SECOND February issue! If anyone needs one in the Charleston area, let me know.

I guess its over between me and Sail

When I read this initial post, I checked my stack of sailing magazines and noted that the last issue of Sail that I had received was October. I sent them an E-Mail expressing some disatisfaction that they had once again (this is not the first time)managed to forget to send me the magazines that I had paid for. I closed the E-Mail by stating "If you don't intend to honor your commitment please cancel my subscription and provide a refund." Within two days I received an E-Mail response that "We cancelled your subscription as you requested....".Last week I received my February issue, and in a separate mailing a check for my remaining subscription. I guess I have only one more (April) to look forward to. Such a pity...Based on all that I've read, and my own experience, it would appear that Sail has more customers than they need and is in the mode of offloading a few of us. It must be nice.

I demand my hat!

This is worse than the Gonzales scandal! It is worse than Watergate, or the Contras, or Whitewater, or Princess Di's mysterious death, or even Halliburton heading off to Dubai! I demand justice!! My February issue of Sail was late and my life lies in ruins. I want the hat! Anything less is an insult that only furthers the pain and anguish I have suffered.

Feb and April

Issues showed up on the same day. Now where did I put the March issue.

Sailing instead of Sail

I got mine late with a note from Sail explaing that it had not been mailed, lost in the mailroom or something.Not to worry, In December I didn't renew the subscription, opted for the "new" Sailing magazine. Better content, not mostly about racing like Sail.Sailing and Latts and Atts are my top two mags now.

March Issue Arrived Today.

Out of stock...

Maybe if they hadn't sent a bunch of us duplicate copies they wouldn't be out of stock.
