Can anyone assist?

<p><font size=-2>> Hello everyone</font>
<br><font size=-2>></font>
<br><font size=-2>> I'm looking for an Alberg 30 called the Gannet II.
Gannet was last</font>
<br><font size=-2>> spotted in the early 80s on her way to Port Huron ?
from Port Stanley,</font>
<br><font size=-2>> where she had raced for many years. She was owned
by Kees Donker (and</font>
<br><font size=-2>> my father, Dr. Will Mann, before that) during her years
in Port</font>
<br><font size=-2>> Stanley. Sorry, I don't have her registration
number anymore.</font>
<br><font size=-2>></font>
<br><font size=-2>> Rumour has it she was entered in and won the Mackinaw
sometime after</font>
<br><font size=-2>> moving north.</font>
<br><font size=-2>></font>
<br><font size=-2>> If anyone knows of the current owner of this boat,
I'd like to contact</font>
<br><font size=-2>> him/her. I'm trying to reconstruct parts of her
racing history, in</font>
<br><font size=-2>> particular to identify the crew members for the 1972
Lake Erie</font>
<br><font size=-2>> International - which she won. We've recently
donated some</font>
<br><font size=-2>> memorabilia to the sailing club, including the pennant
from that 1972</font>
<br><font size=-2>> race; a good yarn to accompany the pennant, and perhaps
some excerpts</font>
<br><font size=-2>> from the ship's log would be a wonderful find!</font>
<br><font size=-2>></font>
<br><font size=-2>> Any hints?</font>
<br><font size=-2>></font>
<br><font size=-2>> Thanks,</font>
