Karin Larson

Journalism ’53

Karin Larson is the publisher of GAM on Yachting. A desire to avoid corporate life and a long-held dream to publish a magazine encourage her to launch the publication in 1957. Now North America's longest-lived sailing magazine, its pages talk about more than the sailing life. Whether advocating for protection of waterways, or raising fund for worthy causes — such as Toronto's Tall ships sailing program, or the donation of equipment and supplies to schools and hospitals in Cuba — Ms. Larson has been an influential activist. In recognition of her many contributions, she was inducted in to the Boating Hall of Fame in 2000.
