After being "missing" for a while, a Review of the Aloha 28 (8.5) and an article about Ted Brewer have recently returned to the updated Canadian Yachting magazine website. Ted also featured in Cruising World's 2001 Hall of Fame in their October 2001 issue, and they had carried details of the Aloha 32 as a top cruiser choice in their September 2001 issue, but these articles aren't available on-line. Pacific Yachting magazine carried reviews of the Aloha 34 (10.4) in January and June 1976, the Aloha 32 in February 1983 and the Aloha 30 in November 1985. These aren't available on-line, but the Pacific Yachting website contains details of how to order copies.
