Our mission is to purchase and preserve Bob Beebe's original Passagemaker and to promote voyaging under power. The campaign to save Passagemaker has been put on hold as the current owner of the old girl is unable to wait for Friends of Passagemaker to raise the funds needed to purchase the yacht. He has been most patient but now personal circumstances dictate he proceed with selling Passagemaker on the open market.
If you're interested in acquiring a genuine classic, please contact Charlie Baker, Passagemaker's owner, via e-mail or telephone him at 1-828-454-5877.
