Hi Rob, Truly a critical period in the history of the museum...wish i could write a huge check! Fearing losing forever the opportunity to acquire the drawings for MIRAGE, i would like to initiate the process buy them. She is a 1985 C&C Northeast 39 built in the Bruckman yard. Would you be able to point me in the right direction to get this rolling?
