Just curious what most of you read these days. Good Old Boat and Soundings are on my shelf, but I'm wondering if there are others that might be better? Don Bodemann

Maybe I'm cheap
But the magazine I anxiously wait for each month is Latitude 38. It may be free, but is is full of items of interest, advertisements from local marine suppliers,and articles specifically oriented toward my sailing home sailing grounds of San Francisco Bay.

Latitude 38
We enjoy a few subscriptions too, but always look forward to Lattitude 38 (hey, when are those guys going to take our picture?). Dan Jonas (S/V Feije)

Spinsheet
I agree with Laura. Spinsheet has all the local dealers and usually one or two good articles to read.

Wooden Boat
Even though I have the fibreglass trees on my boat, this is a great magazine to read and look at the photos of all old boats.

Good Old Boat, Practical Sailor, and Great Lakes
Cruiser in that order. Good Old Boat speaks to all of us who own used boats and want to maintain or restore them. Practical Sailor is one of the very few reasonably objective magazines which evaluate products and services for the sailor. Great Lakes Cruiser describes the many destinations for sailors on the Great Lakes. The big volume circulation mags contain too much fluff and not enough substance IMHO. If this forum were a magazine, I'd rate it at the top of the list. Tom

Sailing, Sail, Lats and Atts, Cruising World
are the ones I subscribe to. I ditched Good Old Boat as it was great for 60's, 70's and early 80's boats and didn't do much for me. I miss Coastal Cruising. Sailing World is more geared toward racing so I usually don't pick it up. Fianlly, I occasionally pick up Blue Water Sailing, if I see an article that catches my interest. Locally, I pick up Southwinds which is our free Southeastern US mag.

The best bar none is Ocean Navigator--real stuff you can use by people who are not beholden to the big gear companies.

Latitude 38
Another vote for Latitude 38. I also enjoy Cruising World, Sail and Practical Sailor. About 2 or 3 times a year I satisfy my romantic, but impractical, side with Wooden Boat.

I've pared down the list...
I subscribe to Sailing, and will pick up Lats and Atts and Good Old Boat, and sometimes Wooden Boat. I have subscribed to Sail and Cruising World in the past, but found them boring. I don't relate very well to stories about where to buy dripless shaft seals in Bora Bora; I daysail and overnight on Long Island Sound. I want to read about and see pictures of boats I will never ever own, about used boats I can reasonably aspire to, and maybe pick up a tip or two about boats like mine. When I do read stories about far away places, I like the editorial slant of Lats and Atts as opposed to Cruising World's.
