Free Issue of Good Old Boat Magazine

I received an email from Good Old Boat this afternoon offering a free issue to all of the shut-ins, wishing they could get back to working on their boats and going sailing.

https://goodoldboat.com/MagazineDist...1-SFRZE20d.pdf

No strings.

I have always found it to be one of the most useful sailing magazines, with more down to earth how-to information and fewer boat show style adds.

You gotta read.

Re: Free Issue of Good Old Boat Magazine

I used to get a few sailing mags but got tired of the lame paid for boat reviews and ads. Good Old Boat is the only one I continue to receive!

Re: Free Issue of Good Old Boat Magazine

I've subscribed off and on to GOB for many years. Over the past couple of years the quality of the magazine has seen a marked improvement under editor Michael Robertson. The articles are more interesting and the advice and technical articles are well founded.

Recently Wendy Mittman Clarke joined the editorial staff, a great addition.

The first issue, of Good Old Boat Magazine, was published, by Karen Larson and Jerry Powlas, in June 1998. An overview of the company was published in the 10-year anniversary issue, July 2008.
