The syndicate purchased
the.boat in Midland and sailed
her the 250 mile to Gode-
rich. She is currently berthed
in Bayfield.
Tiki's background is a little
obscure, but she apparently
was a "common old working"
vessel until refitted and re-
built as a pleasure craft.

She sleeps 10 persons in

For her appearance at
Expo the owners plan to dress
Tiki out in another 600 square

change her pirate -ship black

This . year's cruising has
been confined to Lake Huron.
Have the owners any ambi-
tions to sail the briney deep?
