Practical Sailor just reviewed inverter/chargers and recommended the
new Xantrex MS2000.


Question - Is there an ad for Xantrex (or any of its associated companies)
in Practical Sailor?

Take a look.

The PRIMARY purpose of ANY boating magazine is to SELL PRODUCTS. That's
why they all look like spam, including those "reviews".

Every see Practical Sailor say, "This product sucks!"?

===========================================

Have you ever read Pracitcal Sailor? They are an (expensive)
newsletter that carrys no ads whatsoever. Are they totally unbiased?
Who knows, they may have preferences and prejudices like everyone
else. Have they ever said that a product sucks? Not in so many words
but they've come close quite a few times. They may not be perfect,
and I sometimes disagree with their choices, but overall I know of no
better source of product information.
