Customer Reviews of Messing About in Boats
Authentic, fun-to-read, funky little mag. The guys (and very occassional women) who write for this magazine are the uncles I never had. I can construct arguments about my current boatbuilding puzzlements just from the opinions they express. They always start out with "What were you thinking?". <
> <
>I remember articles that are written here far longer than my glossy boating mags, especially dreck like MotorBoating.

For A Certain Kind of Adventurer
Messing About in Boats is a bi-weekly, black and white
<
>loosely edited and compiled magazine. The articles
<
>are mostly contributions from readers about building,
<
>caring for and enjoying small boats.It has not the
<
>slightest trace of professional publishing about it. Even
<
>the name seems to be deliberately unslick.
<
>
<
>The issue in front of me now has two pages of photos
<
>from a catboat race last fall, seven pages of
<
>reminiscences from journeys taken, two pages on a
<
>pair of brothers and their wooden motorboat, article-
<
>on steam launches, sea chests. Almost every page,
<
>even the most practical and hands-on is the stuff
<
>of dreams.
<
>
<
>But the juiciest part to me is the classified advertising
<
>in the back. The ads are free to subscribers. These
<
>are the pages from which I bought and through which I
<
>sold my Sea Pearl 'Judith'. They are also the first
<
>thing I turn to when my copy arrives.
<
>
<
>MAIB is where the catalog of dreams and acheivable
<
>adventures begins. It's a place to plan and learn too,
<
>about the voyages that most of us can afford to take
<
>and about the excitement of actually doing it.
<
>Too many sailing magazines exist to tout the desireability
<
>of boats and trips and gear that most of us will never
<
>see and dreams that will always remain dreams. This
<
>wonderful magazine is there to remind you that the
<
>best dreams are ones that you can fulfill and also to
<
>show you how to do it.
<
