...challenger, Outward Bound, was a miniature: only 38 ft. overall, built 25 years ago as a pleasure boat on the same sturdy lines as an old New York Harbor pilot boat. She is owned and skippered by Milton T. ("Nick") Craig, 44, an engineer who sails her out of Marion, Mass., with four of his own brood, aged 7 to 16, as crew.
