couple of months ago D.W.Johnson
couple of months ago D.W.Johnson
I subscribe to BoatBuilder and find it useful. Although many of the boats
discussed there are larger and more complex than those usually discussed on
this list, the techniques and materials are often similar, and even when
they are not, the concepts feed my fantasies. Besides, the articles be Dave
Gerr that appear in just about every issue are worth the admission price. I
also subscribe to WoodenBoat and to MAIB. Each of these magazines
contributes a different perspective to the process, and is valued,

I enjoy it and find it a good learning source. It doesn't come out often so
it is always a pleasant supprise when it finds its way to the mailbox. Clyde

I agree, except that I would not substitute MAIB for Boatbuilder, you need
both! I have subscribed to them all at one time or another (Sailing,
Cruising World, Multihulls (marginally still a keeper), Woodenboat, Coastal
Cruising) and the only ones I renew now are MAIB and Boatbuilder, although I
usually buy Woodenboat at the stands. I think Boatbuilder has a legitimate
niche just upscale from the vanity pieces and public-domain reprints in
MAIB. It's the last print refuge of the few designers and suppliers trying
to make a buck catering to the homebuilt market.

I enjoy it a lot. Read and re-read every issue.
I guess about 70-80% of the articles (5-6 per issue) are on "How To" sorts of
subjects for amateurs that address primarily building in wood, but also cover
steel, glass, machinery and related techniques. There are articles
describing so-and-so's latest design, a great help when it comes time to
shell out hard earned money for a set of plans. From time to time there are
scaled down plans accompanied by complete how to build articles, not always
of very small boats. Often the boats represented, (and therefore the
building techniques), are much bigger that what I suspect most of us become
involved with, and this may be a downside for many Bolger builders.
The remainder of articles cover design and construction more broadly,
sometimes with topics I personally only occasionally find interesting. In
this category are articles on design, theory and history.
I look forward to the arrival of Boatbuilder every 2 months. I save all the
back issues and find that topics become relevant to my projects months after
the publication date. This year, though, I may subscribe to MAIB instead.
If you have any more specific questions, please do not hesitate to write.
