Up for Sale by Wooden Ships 2001 Dear Mike- Recently I was visiting Camden, Maine and saw a boat (pic attached) that immediately got my attention-must be a Vertue I thought despite the unique deckhouse. The Broker in Camden through whom I bought Alaria confirmed that it is Kainui V106 still owned by Steve Garrand who has done the recent work. Her previous voyaging is described, as you know on the site. I was given his phone number and I hoped to encourage him to contribute to the site. Alas, the number has been disconnected with no alternate available. I will try to track him down. In the meantime I thought you might like a partial update on her.
I have recently had some email correspondence with Darrell Chalkley after you forwarded his enquiry. He sent me some photos of Rosette. He has done a stunning job in her recent build. I encouraged him to submit her story etc to the site, it should be quite interesting. Thank you again for all your work keeping the site up. It is a great resource for telling people about proper boats!
Best wishes, Bill Cabeen |
