The Matriarch of The Maine Coast was a special video for us to make - this is the converted audio edition. Jan and Hank Taft set out in the early 1980s to create one of the most beloved cruising guides ever published. In its seventh edition with more than 50,000 copies in print, A CRUISING GUIDE TO THE MAINE COAST is a sailor's bible, both for active sailors and armchair sailors alike.
