Since 2012, Soundings has featured a classic boat in every issue, each one beautifully drawn by Jim Ewing and accompanied by a rich description from contributor Steve Knauth. Since the holidays are a great time to dream about boats, we are featuring 12 classics from our files, a dozen designs with which to while away those dark winter nights. Today’s boat, the Grady White 204-C, became a walkaround bestseller for its builder.
