Issue Preview: Reviving The Perfect Family Cruiser (GALLERY)
Meet the November/December cover boat, a restored Fisher Trawlers 38 named Salty Dog. Resisting the draws of all that is shiney and new, Dave Abrams found an uncommon English cruiser loaded with potential.
Salty Dog, our November/December cover boat is a departure from the world of the spiffy new trawler. In the sumer of 2015, Editor-In-Chief Jonathan Cooper joined Dave Abrams and his family of 4 for a cruise in the San Juan Islands.
According to Cooper, Abrams is a serial finder/fixer. Foregoing the ease of a turnkey purchase, Abrams set out to find a practical cruiser with some optional speed. Tougher still, he hoped to find a boat that had fallen out of favor, yet retained its sense of pedigree.
Catch "The Turnaround Of SaltyDog"in the November/December 2015 Issue of PassageMaker Magazine and don't miss the photo gallery after the break. On newsstands and in homes November 3.
