Hello everyone. Ron and I recently purchased Little Breeze (15'), here in Honolulu. Michael Mann sailed her across the Pacific over twenty years ago and I thought you'd be interested to know that we rescued her from obscurity a few weeks ago. I found her alone and neglected down at the other State marina. We purchased her through the brokerage who had her up for sale and brought her back to the Ala Wai marina right away. We are live-a-boards on a 46 foot Cal motorsailor in the marina. I have pictures posted on my blog and there are earlier stories where I wrote about her trip home. I titled them "The Little Boat That Could". There are pictures of her in the photostream on the blog and also under my photo albums in the drop down menu. The album is LITTLE BREEZE. We lost the centerboard last weekend but have a new one on order through Montgomery. We took her out sailing without the board which was fun even if we couldn't maneuver with much agility in the high seas and winds. Since Mike had her rigged for a long journey and had many additional items designed into her, Ron's been in contact with Montgomery to find out what to replace and how to rig her for our use. She has the original mainsail which is a little worn for wear but functional, along with six other sails. Mike had every sail imaginable for the conditions he might encounter, I'm sure. Hope this finds the group well and happy and getting ready for a summer of sailing, Regards, Jennifer Tiernay _http://360.yahoo.com/gently444_ (http://360.yahoo.com/gently444) Jennifer Tiernay
