Sail Magazine

However anytime I'm at the newsstand I buy Small Craft Advisory & Good Old Boat. SCA is my favorite but I like them all.

These are the two best mags out there for me. I'll probably subscribe to Good Old Boat soon, and sometimes buy a copy of SCA when the topics look good. The other, bigger magazines are fun to look at and fantasize about so long as I don't have to pay for them.

Re: Is Practical Sailor worth the price?

Practical Sailor is a great resource. The printed material is sometimes short on details, but as a subscriber you get access to the oneline versions that will go into more detail. I have the site hooked up to my email via RSS and will get a notice when new info comes out.

I agree that it is definitly the Consumer Reports of the boating world and you will not find one ad in it.

Good Old Boat is also my favorite. Sail was not talking to me at all once I brought a boat. It was fine for daydreaming before I brought a boat and is good for long plane rides, but I dont think I ever got all of the ones I subscribed for. I only buy those types of boating mags as the store.

Besides, why subscibe to magazine like Sail when there is this forum and website which I visit everyday. This is really the type of information I am looking for.

Thanks for all of the responses. This site is the best resourse I have found for specific older boats. ie the ones I can afford. I may look into Practical Sailor or Good Old Boat.

So twice in the last 3 months my copy of sail hasn't shown up. Kind of annoyed but not sure whether to cuss at them or the Post Office. 8^/
