Online Archives, Used Boat Gear, and More on the Latitude Website

How often do we go to a website and miss half, or more, of what is available to us? We were thinking on this the other day, and realized that there may be sections of the Latitude 38 website that you may not yet have discovered. To remedy this possibility, we’ve put together a (very) brief outline of some of the features of our site.

Presumably you already know the page you’re on, ‘Lectronic Latitude. Of course there’s the home page: https://www.latitude38.com/, and the page dedicated to the monthly magazine: https://www.latitude38.com/magazine/. But how about all the other cool features available? Let’s start with the magazine — we don’t have only the current month’s issue available; you can search for any topic, person, boat or event from today, right back to 1977. Here’s how:

Alternatively, if you know what year and month your subject appeared in, you can scroll down the page and go directly to that issue:

Then do a search within the issue using the little search magnifying glass at the bottom right of the page you land on; you’ll be taken to the page that contains that word, or words.

Now we want to talk about the Classifieds. You can list your boat, your sailing gear, your partnership opportunities, job vacancies, properties for sale, clubs and memberships, boats and items you’re looking for … it’s a good list! Specifically, did you know that you can list items that you’re selling for under $1,000, including photos, for free? Here’s the link to current listings: https://www.latitude38.com/advert-category/gear/

Here’s another angle. When you look at the top of every page you’ll find the basic topics you might be looking for.

But if you go to the very bottom of every page, you’ll find a more specific menu where each item will take you to its own dedicated page:

Think of the Latitude 38 website as a library where you can stroll around looking at all the topics and pick up whatever catches your eye. You never know what you might find! And if you get lost in there, just send a mayday: We’ll come find you.
