New Alacrity Blog: "My Girl"

Randy Rain's blog about the restauration of his Alacrity "My Girl" is the latest addition to the list of Alacrity blogs. Randy's boat does look like it needs quite some work and we wish him all the best with his project!

Plywood Alacrity for sale

I got an email about this plywood Alacrity for sale.

Circa 1965 Alacrity, Plywood Construction, Currently lying in Shepperton, Middlesex

Deneb has been out of the water for some time and due to other
commitments we are now seeking a new owner to take on the work of putting
her back on the water where she belongs.
As you can see from the pictures she will take some work to finish. Major
items left to do are to finish strengthening the side decks and re-attach the
cabin top. She will then need a complete paint job inside and out.
We will supply all the wood that has been cut to size as well all the original
hardware, engine, etc.
This includes:

Refurbished Coventry Victor MW-2 Inboard Engine (approx. 3.5 HP)
Working Raritan Sea toilet
2 Mainsails and 2 Jibs
Any sensible offers considered, please get in touch for more details if you are
interested.

Sad news -- perhaps

I am currently contemplating putting my boat up for sale. It won't be before the end of next season, hopefully giving me the chance to do some more sailing in Sweden first, but as I cannot see any way (or means) to keep my boat here in York (it's too far from the sea, the marinas on the river are too expensive and there isn't really a point having a sailboat on a river this small), I might have to be content with the kayak for a while.

I haven't decided anything definite yet, but if there is anyone out there who would be interested in giving Discovery a new home, I'd be open for suggestions.

French Alacrity Blog

For those of you who are fortunate enough to understand French there's a blog about an Alacrity here. I have no idea where it is, but it looks nice. ;)
