Classic Cruisers Club
For some, classic cruising boats represent fond memories. For others, they’re an ongoing passion. Passagemaker's Classic Cruisers Club, is proof that both groups are correct. In each issue, we talk to the owner of a classic passagemaker about what he or she loves most about their boat.
