Scuttlebutt

The Scuttlebutt e-newsletter was first launched in 1997, well before regatta organizers and the sailing media had embraced the Internet. The early focus was Southern California, but as interest in the publication grew both nationally and internationally, so did the content. Rather than waiting each month for the print magazine, sailors could now enjoy daily updates in near real time. The manner in how the sport of sailing would be reported was forever changed. The daily e-newsletter still remains the focus at Scuttlebutt, though the publication has grown since those early days. The website was started in 2003, which provided another means for sailors to view the newsletter, plus it has become a valued source for archived news. Additional site features have gradually been added, and can be found in the navigation area. We are paticularly proud of the photo gallery, which is typically the highest ranked site for sailing photos on the Internet, and is supported by the finest shooters in the sport. Despite the globalization of the sport, our roots remain in North America, with newsletter content selected to emphasize the events and stories of most interest to sailors on this continent. The publication dates are Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), with each new issue of the newsletter generally published by 6 pm PT (Sun-Thurs).

Thanks for all the background!

Thanks for chiming in! You did much more justice to the site than I did :-)
