Ed Maurer, publisher of Canoe Sailing Magazine, has sent me a note announcing that CSM is expanding it’s horizons to include small multihulls, including sailing outriggers and proas. Not that they were ever discriminatory in the least, certainly not the New York Yacht Club, but something about the name “canoe sailing” conjures up images of sailing in your derby. Well, that’s about to change, since the new name of CSM is Skinny Hull Canoe & Kayak Sailing Magazine. Consider yourselves included.

I think this is great. We all know the only thing wrong with an American canoe is it’s lack of an appendage*. Go give Skinny Hull some love, and if you happen to have some outrigger or proa related writing on the back of your hard drive, dust it off and send it in.
