About the Owners
Al and Rie: In 1957 they bought their first boat, a brand new 22' 1957 Trojan. in 1962 they moved up to a brand new 28' 1962 Lewis. Finally in 1986 they purchased Kedge, a brand new LNVT. They've done the Great Loop and extensively cruised, as documented in a July 2000 article in Heartland Boating magazine.
