David Glenn has been appointed as the new editor of Yachting World. Currently Deputy editor, David is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost yachting journalists.

Publishing director Simon Owen says "I'm delighted to announce David's promotion to editor. His depth of talent, ideas and enthusiasm are legendary and I'm very much looking forward to working with him as we continue the development of this truly iconic sailing brand."

David adds "It is a privilege to be asked to edit one of the most respected yachting magazines in the world and I relish the exciting challenge of developing the brand on different platforms. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Andrew Bray for his 18 years at the helm. His will be large sea boots to fill, but with one of the best editorial teams in the business I have every confidence that we can take Yachting World to new levels."

David takes up his new position on the 2nd June, following the retirement of another sailing icon, his predecessor Andrew Bray.
