| One of the things I didn't mention in my earlier posts about this year's National Regatta is that Erky's widow, Alma, had decided to offer his vintage division Ventnor Moth Boat for sale. |
 |
| John Z. decided to step up to the plate and is now the new owner of Tweety. |
 |
| The boat is in overall good condition and came complete with two sails, spars and blades. |
 |
| But like all boats approaching 70 years of age, this one has her share of things to correct. |
 |
| But there's nothing here that John can't fix. |
 |
| Although Tweety's original IMCA sail number is unknown, she does have a Ventnor Boat Works production number stamped into the expected place--the forward centerboard trunk log. |
 |
| She'll rest in John's shed until he has time to move her into his workshop. Once fettled, she'll be a welcome addition back in the vintage division racing fleet. |
