The engine, a G-M 471, was installed in 1954, as was the 
generator, stove, sink, refrigerator, and all other 
mechanical and electric accessories. The sails are 
either '54 or '55, dacron, and the /standing rigging was 
replaced last year. In other words, the boat is as sound 
as it is possible to make it — it was completely overhauled 
and refitted by Grebe's shipyard in Chicago in early *54 — 
and in new condition. 
A few statistics. Length overall, 55’; water line, 51' 
draught, 6', beam, 14' 6" tonnage, 24. Elee tricity, 32 volt 
(There is one 110 outlet, in the wheelhouse, for the phonograph, 
electric razors, etc.) 
We’ll get a contract form together later, but don't 
worry about the availability of the boat — you can count 
on it. 
Let me know what else you want in the way of 
information, and I'll try to send it along. 
Sincerely ,

P.S. Thanks for sending along your publications. They 
are most interesting, and I'm glad to have them.
