Marine Sanitation. This sanitation Q&A is by the world's top marine sanitation person, Peggie Hall. It is absolutely right on, accurate, and if you follow everything stated here to the letter, it works. 
Pat's Boating In Canada has a general web site about boating in Canada; particularly the Great Lakes. Note the Aloha in the first frame.
"Liveaboard" Magazine was a good source of information on staying on your sailboat for extended periods of time, but after being for sale the magazine (or at least their website) seems to have disappeared. As an alternative, take a look at Living Aboard Magazine. 
Cruising World Magazine have done an excellent job of covering Aloha yachts and their owners at various times. In 2001 the April issue featured an Aloha 32 on the cover and they described the Aloha 32 as an excellent "bluewater cruiser" in September. Ted Brewer was featured in their 2001 Hall of Fame in the October issue, which also contained an article entitled "Ideas to Add to Your Bag of Tricks" by Aloha 28 (8.5) owners Peter and Janice Bunge, and in the November issue "Passage Notes from the Fields" features Holly and Gary Gunsher aboard their Aloha 32 "Windependent". All coupled with several excellent articles concerning Ted Brewer and his designing philosophy, it makes for some very interesting reading.
DIY boat owner has a great on-line magazine loaded with useful maintenance and project articles.
Good Old Boat Magazine.  This is a great magazine and focuses on older boats like the Aloha's and can be an excellent resource. They also feature articles by Ted Brewer as an occasional contributor.
Bacon & Associates website contains excellent items on Measuring Sails and Sail Terminology that may be invaluable if you are thinking of replacing your sails.
