Support Nami — a voluntary tip

Latest

Nami (波) is a magazine, a radar and a diary about the world's great yachts, kept from Tokyo for readers everywhere.

Nami means wave. A magazine, because every week one boat deserves to be looked at slowly: the explorer that will never see a marina, the sloop drawn like a knife, the 100-metre that is really a house. A radar, because we count what the yards and the yachting press are talking about right now — hybrids, refits, glass, teak, the beach club — and show it as it moves. A diary, because a seal is set each day in that day's colour, and the days add up.

We read from Viareggio to Vollenhove, from Fort Lauderdale to Hong Kong, in English, Italian and Japanese. Everything here links back to the people who built it; the images belong to their authors.

Nami will keep changing: new sources, new signals, a little better each week, never finished. If a boat here made you look at the horizon, that is enough.

Thank you for reading. ありがとうございます。

What this is

A voluntary tip. Nothing is bought or sold, and no perks, subscriptions or exclusive content are attached to it. It is not a charity donation and not a purchase: please do not send anything expecting something in return beyond our thanks.

Because a tip is not a purchase, we do not process routine refunds. If you sent one by mistake or the amount was wrong, write to [email protected] within 14 days and we will sort it out.

Disclosure

We said on the legal page that we would disclose any money we take. Reader tips are the only money Nami receives, and the total is public: the address above is on a public ledger, and we will summarise what came in here at the end of each quarter.

Card and bank tips will be added later.
