OWNERS COMMENTS
"Mike" was built by her experienced boat-builder owner and sailed for 3 years. Regretfully, ill health has meant she's been covered and ashore at her owners home for the past 2 seasons. Her owner is a wooden boat builder by trade and has spent his life building and repairing boats. He is now 88 years old and would like the boat to go to someone who would use and enjoy her.
