<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As menioned in a recent posting, Luders =

three local
Luders no longer exist. NEH # 9, Aethe, hull # 761, was =
dropped by a
crane several years ago and was broken beyond repair. Bar Harbor # 56,

boat yard fire. A third NEH Luders simply disappeared from its =
mooring and
was never found - not sure of the name. Yet.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
