For the First Time in 105 Years, Yachting Has a Female EIC

Yachting has been around for over 100 years, but has never had a woman overseeing editorial. Mary South, previously the magazine’s Deputy Editor, is breaking that streak. She has been named Yachting’s first female Editor-in-Chief. South has been with Yachting since 2007, and had been Deputy Editor for the past year.

“As deputy editor, Mary drove quality improvement, market share growth and digital innovation,” said David Ritchie, director of Editorial Operations for Bonnier’s marine brands. “She has the respect of her team and her audience, and I look forward to watching this brand thrive under her leadership.”
