We are thinking of bringing Moth to Maine next summer, Tom, (from Nantucket Sound), at least to the Portland area where our son will be finishing his second year of residency at Maine Medical - but not sure how much farther beyond that we'll be able to get given our time available. Probably more toward the late July window, but a rendezvous schedule could alter that.
We had heard some scutttlebutt about an Alden event at Mystic being planned several years ago, but nothing seemed to come of it, and I expect their planning horizon would need more notice than months possibly. It is very cool to have the run of the seaport at night after closing, however, as a side benefit of being there...
Still trying to get confirmation whether the Zephyrs and Mistrals had chainplate pockets molded into the hull and then faired over on the outside, or whether they are like the Caravelles', but sure look deeper and more substantial than an inside job. Moth probably shouldn't go more than another year or so before getting than taken care of one way or the other (just like the rudder rebuild) Another reason to finally get to retirement!
