Scott Wallace, Rhodes Meridian

P.S. we found a Pearson Alberg designed Triton, Ondine, in our 
midwestern boat yard north of Cincinnati, from Delaware...anyone know 
of her past?

The boatyard guys accused me of drawing and attracting strange older 
ocean sailboats to their yard of predominately Hunter, Catalina and 
McGregor boats!

Now they have our Rhodes Meridian, a Pearson Triton and another old 
full keeler, that reminds me of a Dana 24!
