Letter to the Circle – Mr. Michael Jacobs – May 27th, 1982

27 May 1982

Dear Mr. van Marle:

I am enclosing $4 as subscription to Alcyone Circle. Hope to get further particulars on August meeting. Perhaps can fly over and join you.
Would like to meet other Alcyone owners.  As you can see I am agent for Wil in US.

Had a short cruise with Carapace this spring over to Abaca Bahamas.  Delightful weather except for one 70K NEaster,
for which we were happily at a sheltered anchorage.
Carapace has been modified with pulpit, center board removed and small in keel welded on.  She now sails 100% better to windward, with minimum weather helm.
Self steering vane can now handle her comfortably.

Slide enclosed for your next winter meeting.

sincerely yours,
Michael C. Jacobs
box 83 Jericho,

PS  Caravelle has recently been sold to Mr. Wm. Koser 325 Lincoln Way West Chambersburg, PA 17201.
I assisted in the sale. Please include Mr. Koser in your mailing list.
