I really like the local feel of Points East and the fact that it is not a glossy fancy pants boating magazine.

We have immensely enjoyed Points East ever since we began sailing lessons at the Boston Sailing Center… the high caliber of your magazine, and wide array of articles – from fun to serious – make it a pleasure to peruse every month.

I have been reading Points East for many years. I’ve always just picked it up at a local business (Bristol Bagels in Bristol RI), it was a morning ritual to have a bagel and read Points East. The name of your publication embodies my cruising dreams, heading to ‘points east.’

Your format and paper choice help Points East feel like a local publication depending on local writers and local storytellers. That’s one of your strengths.

We really enjoy reading Points East. We used to just pick it up when we could find it when we were near the coast, but after missing a few issues my wife subscribed. We find it a great read.

It’s like a drug, as soon as you finish one issue you’re dying to get the next one.

Love the focus on the New England coast, and I welcome the inclusion of both sailors and powerboaters alike. (And paddlers).
