We have a reputation to uphold, after all, as the kinder, gentler publisher.

Come aboard!

We hope you'll be impressed enough to stay with us and to offer advice and contacts useful to fellow sailors through the magazine and web pages. We'll invoice you for $39.95. Same price in Canada: $39.95 US. For overseas subscribers the price is $49.95 US. (2 years is $95.95 US.)

Good Old Boat magazine focuses solely on 10-year-old and older model sailboats and the sailors who own and love them. We want to be clear about this: if your interests lie in the area of older powerboats, our focus may disappoint you.

Subscribers get free newsletter supplements during alternate months. That's how we keep the timely issues timely and still go sailing! Oh, and subscribers get one free web classified ad each year. Let us know if you've got anything to list.

What's in the Current Issue of Good Old Boat

January/February 2008

Boats include the C&C 27, the Herreshoff America catboat, the Pearson 28-1, the Nightwind 35, and a history of the Clark Boat Company, builders of the San Juans.

Technical articles include EPIRBS, PLBs, and SARTs 101; sailing off the anchor; the Big Boat Rule; vacuum bagging; insulating the hull; and an instrument panel that was half full of water (no joke) and still working.

For fun? Wooden boat revival, part 2; Into the Light book excerpt; getting into sailing late in life; simplifying your sailing; a world cruising photo spread; and the "lantern ritual."

What's more: nitro-meals, measuring small bits of epoxy, muffin fans, and no-sew drapes.

Because People Ask About Gift Subscriptions. . .

People ask us how to request gift subscriptions on the web. You can order your own subscription, or one for a friend at our Subscribe On-Line page. Or you can go to our handy Print and Mail subscription form, and send it to us that way. And thanks for thinking enough of our magazine to give it as a gift to someone else!
