Damn traderonline!
 

First "Soundings", now "yachtworld".
http://www.yachtworld.com/index.html.en

"Soundings" used to be a fairly good site for used sailboat searches, until
traderonline bought them out, now they've swallowed yachtworld, watch that
site go rapidly downhill

soundings(aka traderonline) still seems like a good search site for
sailboats.
provides a much broader reach of comparision in my mind
what's the problem?

the mag itself is no longer available in my local bookstore so i'll have to
order it
local stuff is worth the subscription price

Trust me, the "Soundings" website was far superior before TOL bought it, now
it is the same website as TOL, wouldn't be surprised if they do the same
thing to
"yachtworld". OTOH, they may decide that losing yachtworld's unique content
may destroy the brand. Only time will tell.

I'm with you. I like YW, don't care much for ToL.

Agreed. Soundings website was great before. I barely bother with it now.
