I have read this magazine since issue 3, which I bought at the Port Townsend Wooden Boad Festival (a long time ago). If you have any interest in watercraft history, craftsmanship, design, comment, or even armchair cruising, this magazine is for you. There is an emphasis on sail and human powered watercraft, but enough historic and nostalgic powerboating to satisfy this reader. If you subscribe, keep your back issues - a year from now (or five) you'll go back to read an article you skimmed over the first time. Highly recommended for the non-cutting-edge boater.

It is true that this magazine isn't written for women. It is written for ALL who are interested in the technicalities, art and beauty of wooden boat building and restoration. If you want a magazine that is targeted specifically for women, it is true that you are looking in the wrong place. I personally happen to truly enjoy this magazine. This is regardless of the fact that I am through and through a woman!

This publication offers everything the reader would expect. The cover says it is "the magazine for wooden boat owners, builders, and designers". The content matches the promise.

A friend of mine at the Stoney Creek Wooden Boat Shop in Rochester, Michigan has been a faithful reader of this publication for some time now. I recently discovered it myself and find it to be very informative and insightful. It covers a broad range of topics from restoration, craftsmanship, history and more. My friend at the Stoney Creek Wooden Boat Shop is very particular about his craftsmanship and service on all of his boat building and restoration projects. Knowing he trusts this publication and recommends it himself puts the magazine in high place in my mind. Anyone who is serious about the art of wooden water craft or building wooden boats in general should get this magazine.

The person who reviewed this magazine earlier says it is not for women. What abunch of bull. The reviewer even admits that he/she has never even read the magazine. Well if that isn't prejudice. No wonder the Isreali that wrote that review has so many problems in his/her country... PREJUDICE!

althow I have not read this magazine I can surly say It is not adapted to women in todays life!
