How did you get interested in newporters? Tell me a little about yourself.

As requested....more info. My parents sold the house and moved us from NY to Ft. LAUDERDALE in 1970. We lived at Summerfield Boat Works while repairing the Annabelle. My father had placed a deposit on a new ketch but Mr. Ackerman was closing his NJ boatworjs and we drive there to pick up new windows. Which went into the Annabelle. I do not know the hull number sad to say. She was sold in the 80s...inspector said there was rot under the glass hull, but Shelly Lake owner of zriverbend Marine on the New River pulled the glass off snd no rot so the sale went thru. Interesting way of life...many boaters with kids who didn't go to school. Think the Annabelle was taken yo the Salt Lake in Utah. I slept on the port side and my brother on the starboard with the anchor between. She was yellow striped with a dark green hull. Such a different, simpler time. .
