Cruisers & Sailing Forums - View Single Post - what sailing / cruising magazines are worth reading?

I subscribe to Cruising World and Multihulls. Both are pretty good. I get Latitude 38 for free but if you are not in the SF Bay Area, I think it is worth a subscription. Latitude has excellent articles from people who are out there cruising, not just local sailing news. I buy Ocean Navigator and Latitudes & Attitudes off the shelf occasionally. I don't care much for Sail magazine. I don't know how to describe it other than "generic" and "lacking personality". Same with Yachting magazine and any powerboat magazine with a cover page that shows a woman in a swimsuit on the bow.

I think if you go into a really large bookstore or West Marine you will find quite a variety of boating related magazines.
