Future plans

You volunteering to bring the PCA & Sea People Magazines back to life.

The Polynesian Catamaran Association is a voluntary club for people interested in the designs of James Wharram. The PCA currently has no officers. Due to a direct request from James and Hanneke this archive of the PCA publications has been created. This action was approved at the last official AGM of PCA officers. We hope you enjoy reading all 33 issues of The Sailorman and 75 issues of The Sea People magazines in the Tabs above.

Special thanks to Nico Boon and his daughter Marijke for scanning and sending us the missing Sea People Magazine #60. You will notice that Nico wrote "93" on the cover. He numbers them this way because there were 33 issues of The Sailorman so if you view these as one collection Sea People #60 would be #93.
