This is from another BB this AM : Date: 8/10/06 7:27a.m. My father has that sickness called 'old age', and therefore is no longer capable of maintaining Mareve, our family's 51-ft ketch. We would like the boat to go to a good home, but are not asking for money because we don't need the funds. We just want Mareve to sail in good hands again. I care because I grew up aboard Mareve, and sailed her all over the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Rim for 13 years of my youth. This was back in the '70s when I was a young buck. Now my brothers and I are spread all over - I'm in Auckland building John Kilroy's new TP52 Samba Pa Ti - and we're just not able or interested in caring for the boat anymore. Could you let people know about Mareve's availability? She has a teak hull and decks, and was built at the famous Cheoy Lee Yard in Hong Kong in 1940 to a George Wayland design. She has a 80-hp Mercedes diesel. She's currently located in San Carlos, Mexico. My dad kept her up as well as he could, with annual haulouts and painting and so forth, but due to his failing health, hasn't been able to visit her in some time. So she does need some work. We members of the Arndt family would like to see Mareve go to a good home. I can be reached at (805) 570-3651 in California or 011-64-210-407-924 in New Zealand, or via skype at Samba52EricArndt.
