Gang,

I tried a free copy of Good Old Boat magazine that I ordered from the
website. It was great, so I subscribed. After reading issues 2 & 3 I
ordered issue 1 to have aq complete set. I think it is a great
magazine, for those of us who are interested in afforable boats and
affordable ideas. If you haven't taken a peek at the website give it
a look. I read Cruising World, but the boats are all megabucks, and
the cruises are beyond anything I will ever attempt. SAIL likewise,
can't afford any of it. Messing about in Boats is okay, but no quite
what I wanted.

FYI, I do not have any connection to Good Old Boat or anyone involved
with it, I just think it's what I have been looking for in a magazine.

Take a peek!

Good Old Boat: The Sailing Magazine for the Rest of Us 3D"Good

3D"Uniting 3D"Still 3D"Still

It Started on the Boat

The idea occurred to us where our best ideas always origin= ate: on the boat while cruising. "Let's create a magazine to unite the ow= ners of cruising sailboats like ours: older boats, wonderful boats, well-= loved, and frequently sailed boats." And so Good Old Boat magazine= was born for sailors who own, maintain, sail, and love terrific boats wh= ich are 10, 20, 30, or more years old.

If you'd like a sample copy of our new magazin= e, let us know. Good Old Boat is not available on newsstands.=

The November/December issue includes a collection of articles on buying, = financing, insuring, and upgrading your good old boat and a look at tax c= onsiderations for boaters. It has a profile of designer Ted Brewer by Joh= n Vigor and a look at fiberglass boats by Sven Donaldson (what can go wro= ng and how to determine whether an older boat is worth the investment of = time and money). It includes a feature on the Niagara 35 and her sailors= in Canada's North Channel and Georgian Bay. A chapter of Roland Barth's = new book, Cruising Rules, pokes fun at macho types who don't reef.= Bill Sandifer shows us how he repaired extensive deck delamination in hi= s Pearson Ariel, and Jerry Powlas talks about the vang/preventer system t= hat works on his C&C. Sailrite's Matt Grant discusses pros and cons of ro= ller furling and hanked-on jibs, and Bob Wood lists names and phone numbe= rs for resources for sailors.

The September/October issue includes a technical look at exhaust systems,= a supplier feature on Sailrite, a discussion about buying sails through = sail brokers, a great article on what to look for when buying an older bo= at, a feature on an Ericson 35, a "walk down memory lane" with the birth = of the Valiant, an article by Lin Pardey on onboard communication,= a review of sailing listservers and newsgroups on the 'Net, and more. Th= is issue features a number of new authors we like and think you'll like. = Take a look at it and then tell us about articl= es you'd like to see.

The first issue, which came out in June, included an in-depth look at sea= cocks and thru-hulls with an article by Nigel Calder, a companion = piece on marine metals by marine architect Dave Gerr, and a discus= sion of some controversies that have popped up on the subject recently in= Practical Sailor. Don Casey had a guest editorial extollin= g the virtues of good old boats. The issue also focused on the Atomic 4 e= ngine, featured a Cape Dory 30 and her good old sailors, and presented a = way to restore your rubrails by John Vigor. We had a centerfold of= good old boat photos by Mary Jane Hayes. And we included a list o= f sailboat associations and owners' groups. (We continue to gather inform= ation for that list on this website. It's been creating a lot of interest= !)

The few remaining copies of the early issues are now available for sale. = If you're within the U.S., send us a check for $7 to get a copy.
