"Kinkie Two"

1979 Mariner 32

Owners: Craig and Goshia Parker - Kentucky Lake, Ky. - U.S.A


A Note from previous owners Fred and Sharon Waterhouse: The history of our boat  : Finished out in CA, and was named " Sea Mistress" .    It was bought then by Kevin and Cecilia R Cooper, they then took it to  Galveston Bay, and lived on it for about 2 years, and at that time the name was changed to "Melody Amour".   We bought it in August of 1988.    We took it to a small lake in IL. (Caryle IL.) sailed it until we  moved it to Kentucky Lake, KY.  Our name for this boat is "Kinkie Two", no explanation needed.   We have been at Green Turtle Bay Marina  for approx. 8 years.And it has been great.  We love the lake and all that water.    Our boat is a 32' ketch rig.  fiberglass hull, all wood below.  We have a  Volvo MD 11C, we have had to replace the transmission.  We are fully loaded for living abroad and open water sailing, like you said you must have wind to move it, then it is great. 

My wife and I bought "Kinky Two" (soon to be renamed to "Ashlinka", after the proper ceremony of course) from Mr. and Mrs. Waterhouse while I was home on mid-tour leave from Iraq. The photos and history that you currently have is accurate and I will happily add more upon my return home (mid-October 2008). I am not sure where to call a home port for the boat - I grew up in baltimore and sailed the Chesapeake some, now live in Kentucky near the boat but will soon move to Chicago for a few years before settling in Maine ,hopefully; I am open for suggestions of what to put. I am looking forward to my return and going sailing!

Best regards, Craig and Goshia Parker
