Greg Luckett Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 It would surprise me if this jewel of a magazine is unknown here, but thought mentioning it could be useful to someone. I build small boats and refurbish older boats for resale, as well as do minor shipwright work on boats in the local area. Every single one of the editions of this magazine has been useful to me. I have even started purchasing back issues. None of the other boating related magazines even come close to the value of Good Old Boat.

Dale Niemann Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Greg, I just started a subscription to "Good Old Boats" and love the 1st issue. However, I still think "Messing About in Boats" magazine is my favorite. It is great to get so much boating stuff every two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Okay, call me dumb, but I did not know there was a Messing About In Boats magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Peterson Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Greg, Try "Duckworksmagazine.com" for a really good website for home boatbuilding. There is a link for "Messing about in boats" as well as a wealth of info for boatbuilders. Regular submissions from builders around the world (as well as Texas :wink: ) Part of the site requires membership but the small cost is acceptable for all the info that comes with it. Please note... The content grows several times a day! A great wealth of everything "BOAT". Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I am familiar with Duckworth's site, but had forgotten about the MAIB magazine. Last time I tried subscribing it kept telling me I had a CC problem, which was not true. They did not respond to any of my emails so I blew it off. This was a year or so ago. Today I subscribed again and will see if this one goes through. Thanks for the reminder, Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Speaking of the magizine Messing About in Boats. Someone just told me that Bill Heil's CS 17 is on the cover of the current issue. It would have been when it was at St. Michaels for the MASCF meet. I don't have a current subscription.

Ed Hawkins Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Yes, Bill's CS17 is on the cover of the most recent Messing about in Boats. Several good reviews of the St. Michael's event. I really do have to get there one of these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Niemann Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Greg, Here is the info for "Messing About in Boats" Magazine 24 issues per year $28 per year 29 Burley St. Wenham, MA 01984-1943 Phone 978-774-0906 No recording machine. If you contact Bob Hicks the editor, I believe he will send you a complimentary issue. The magazine is not a glossy. Articles are written by folks like us on this forum. Some are good and some are not so good. I like the variety. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
