Karen Larson and her husband publish interesting and useful information (see Good Old Boat - Welcome to Good Old Boat Magazine ). I also find Sailing Magazine (see Sailing Magazine ) good from time to time (but I am not a subscriber) and DIY Boat Owner shows potential (see DIY-BOAT.COM - Home ) although it may focus on power boats too much for some. I also find Ocean Navigator useful and interesting at times but I am not sure of the magazines endurance so I have not subscribed (see Ocean Navigator: The magazine for long-distance offshore sailing and power voyaging ). I do like Latitude 38 (when I don't have to pay for it) but of late Richard Spindler seems to be effected a little much by the "Peoples-Republic-of-San Francisco" mentality which, unfortunately, has bled over the Bay from the "Peoples-Republic-of-Berkeley".
FWIW...
