48 North Donated to NW Maritime Center

The Pacific Northwest sailing rag 48° North, based in Seattle, has been for sale for a while, as owners Richard Hazelton and Michael Collins want to retire. Yesterday, the editor, Joe Cline, announced that the magazine is being donated to the nonprofit Northwest Maritime Center, located in Port Townsend, WA. The editorial and advertising staff are staying on. The Maritime Center, you may recall, is the organizer of the Wooden Boat Festival in September and the one-of-a-kind Race to Alaska.
