Bi-monthly magazine about the techniques of building modern (mostly fiberglass or other composite) high-end yachts. Detailed, sometimes technical, stories about structure, equipment, and systems. Often the best source of up-to-date information on cruising boat systems.
[Professional BoatBuilder Magazine, Brooklin, ME, USA]
Magazine for serious cruisers emphasizing how-to articles on navigation and safety but covering cruising destinations as well. Articles tend to be long and detailed from the boat operator′s, not the owner′s, perspective. The photos, maps, diagrams, and lists for each are usually not reproduced on-line. On-line access is free for some articles, but a 5$ membership give you access to all of them. ~100 pages, six issues a year.
[Navigator Publishing LLC, Portland, ME, USA]
Annual special issue of Ocean Navigator, with an emphasis on bluewater voyaging. Articles tend to be long and detailed (but the photos, maps, diagrams, and lists for each are usually not reproduced on-line). ~100 pages, annually in April.
[Navigator Publishing LLC, Portland, ME, USA]
Annual special issue of Ocean Navigator, containing reviews of about 20, mostly larger, sailing yachts built recently in North America. ~100 pages, annually in October.

Written for boatbuilders, yards, designers and other professionals, PB is nevertheless useful to owners or would-be owners, as a guide to the latest boatbuilding and repair technology and the boatyards that use them.

[Water Craft Magazine, Gweek, Cornwall, UK]
The original high-circulation cruising magazine. Concentrates on articles about serious cruising destinations, gear choices and maintenance, cruising technique, and boat reviews. Each issue has vignettes of cruising people in far-off places and at least one recipe suitable for preparation underway. ~150-200 pages, monthly.
[The Sailing Company, Middletown, RI, USA]
