The Gaffers Log is the quarterly magazine of the Old Gaffers Association. It is produced and edited by Phil Slade from his home in Somerset. The magazine consists of 50 pages of articles, letters, pictures, area notes, book reviews and a few adverts, in short you need to get it.
There are members' boats for sale in the Log, usually at affordable prices, as well as information on where to find those hard to come by bits that you need.

Members can advertise their boats and bits in the log at no cost.
The front and back cover of the Log are made from colour photos, taken from the members' winning photos in the Photograph Competition.
The organisation is a world wide one and the Gaffers Log keeps us all together, it is a wonderful publication.
