Disclosure

SailZing.com is free to read. Here’s how we earn money and who we work with.

Amazon Associates

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Some of our articles link to sailing books, gear and such on Amazon. When you buy through one of those links, Amazon pays SailZing a small commission. It doesn’t increase your cost. Each post with Amazon links says so next to the links.

YouTube

Many of our posts include videos from the SailZing.com YouTube channel. SailZing earns from views of those videos.

Our own products

SailZing sells sailing gear, including SailZing StayTales™ shroud telltales, which we make in Sarasota, Florida. Some articles link to our products in the SailZing shop. When they do, it’s our product, and we earn from the sale. This income helps to pay to maintain SailZing.com as a free resource.

Pink StayTales

For every pink StayTales set sold, SailZing gives $2 to breast cancer research. We send the total once a year.

The ILYA

SailZing.com and the ILYA (Inland Lake Yachting Association) have a loose partnership. We work together on some content, and the ILYA gives SailZing free advertising: our logo appears in the sponsor bar of its Scowlines newsletter.
