Your favorite sailing magazine!

What's your favorite sailing magazine? For me Blue Water Sailing seems to have it all. Great articles that are well written and easy to understand. I get almost all of them but this is my favorite.

I like Good Old Boat, followed by Latts & Atts, followed by Sailing, followed by Blue Water Cruising, followed by Ocean Navigator, followed by Sail (yes, I like the new short attention span format), followed by Cruising World (the articles are a bit too literary at times, but it's still good). I have yet to meet a sailing magazine that doesn't catch my fancy.

It's still GOB, even if it does cost as much here now as it does in Canada

Just had a quick look through an online "Blue Water Sailing" and that looks OK. Little less tits and arse than Latts and Atts but content looks more interesting albeit a tad US centric which I admit is to be expected. Very similar look to L & A , same publisher maybe ?

I like Good Old Boat although its hard to get down here. Have just subscribed but wish they had an online version.

Ocean Navigators not bad.

Despite the occasional **** up I still like Practical Sailor.

Oz mag called Cruising Helmsman is quite good although can be somewhat advertorial. One suspects there are a few freebie trips put on by certain charter operators.

Occasionally buy British Yachting Monthly. Good read but hellishly expensive in Oz.

Over the years I believe I've subscribed to all of 'em at one point or another, but at present, Good Old Boat is my magazine of choice.

I get most of those mentioned above except GOB. Sounds like I need to add one to my subscription list. Thanks.

Nothing new here...I like Good Old Boat, Blue Water Sailing and Cruising World. I also like Latts & Atts, but there is so much advertising!!! I've yet to see a copy of Practical Sailor, though I've heard it's good.

Good Old Boat is definately my fav. It's always got good info about projects and i like the reviews of the older boats. So for content it's GOB for me... for pretty pictures it's Sailing magazine.

I also find myself flipping through the West catalog every now and then too.
