old magazines

Does anybody have an interest in a bunch of _Yachting_ issues from the early and mid 1970s? There are also a few copies of _The Rudder_ and _Lakeland Boating_ of the same vintage. They're full of interesting articles and ads. These are at my mother's house and I don't have enough storage room at my place to take them on. They're located in mid-Michigan Just flipping through, I found a big display ad for the Cal 2-46, by way of example. Chris Campbell

Maybe at one of the Traverse Bay area libraries ? Newport Beach has a "Mariners' Branch" on Balboa Peninsula with Rudder back to 1900 and the other magazine back issues. I use it for researching the book. They might be interested if there is such a section. That's a pretty boat-oriented area. Mike Kennedy Conquest Cal 40 # 96 > > Chris Campbell >

I already have a small collection of old YACHTINGs (sure wish I could afford to add to it!) and have scanned several old CAL ads and posted them on the "CAL Owners" Web site that is part of www.sailboatowners.com Actually, I really hate to use the term "old" to describe most of the magazine issues, as well as the various models of CALs! I'm not exactly old (43 yoa) but I remember reading several of these "old" YACHTINGs back when my Dad subscribed...........and seeing them again has been very interesting! Unfortunately, Dad didn't have room to keep all those old issues and who would have thought we'd ever wish we still had them? You know the old tale of mothers throwing out their kids' baseball cards? Well, in my case it was my yearly collections of Boat Sales Brochures that I had to throw out each year prior to the annual Boat shows! BOY I WISH I STILL HAD THOSE!! I remember having the CAL 20 brochure (1970 or so), CAL T/4, O'Day brochure for almost every year from 1969 on.......AVON Dinghies, various outboard makes, even a lot of (gasp!) powerboats! I did find a way of saving most of the ones that I collected after 1978 or so. Including the full line CAL brochures for 1978 and 1979 (might be 1977 and 78?). I think those are still posted on-line somewhere, not my doing.....but someone else who had saved them. Oh, of course I have (and posted) the CAL 21 brochure!

These are remnants of Dad's old subscription, and are the issues that survived a flood or two. As a genuine packrat, I try to keep useful stuff, but these fall into the category of "interesting" more than "useful." And they are very interesting, for ads and for articles. Chris Campbell

A lot of libraries tossed old periodical collections when they had space and money problems, but I may make a few calls and see if there's local interest. Chris Campbell > > > . > >
