Well, here's a mystery I've been trying to solve. Among the many pamphlets &
manuals passed on when I purchased the
boat was an old photocopy of a magazine article. The article was written by a former owner of the
boat when it was named
Mistris XI, & was about some
cabin modifications he'd made. It's quite grainy though, & I'd love to find an original back issue or digital scan- but what magazine is it?
The article or column is called
The Boatkeeper & appears to be a guest contribution as it was written by the boat owner. Unfortunately the magazine name or date do not appear anywhere on the photocopy. There is an advertisement on the same page for the Kelt 7.60, so that would date it between 1980-1984.
I contacted
Great Lakes Boating magazine by
email, since they appeared to have such a column from my
internet search. However, they've replied that the article & author aren't familiar, so... I'm back to square one.
Below is an
photo attachment of my copy of the article. Does it ring any bells with anyone?
