But first, a few guidelines:

Your article must be related to sailing or sailboats;

Your article must be your own work - not ripped off from anyone else;

It must be neither too long nor too short - an ideal article size is around 400 to 750 words;

Ideally, it will be illustrated with a few of your own pics. The form below allows you to include up to four. Don't forget to add captions if they help to explain what the pics are all about.
