HINDU is expected to return to Thomaston, Maine, at the close of the season for her final layer of teak decking.

Even though the “Save a Classic” page wasn’t solely responsible for hooking all of the new owners who went on to save the following fine classics, I hope it has helped. I’m very gratified that each of these fine yachts, just as those detailed in my article on page 74, has been given a new lease on life.
