HELP? I am trying to recall a very small article that appeared in the magazine, some time ago, that discussed a sailboat that was built from salvaged teak deck planking of the WWII cruiser USS Phoenix. I believe that the owner of the boat was a Canadian and that the boat had suffered a capsizing and was being restored. I would very much appreciate some help in finding the article, the owner and eventually the boat. I have mistakenly thrown out the magazine and can't remember which edition it was. Not more than 9 years ago but not within the past three years. Anybody know such a boat?
