The current owner purchased it to be used as a summer sailing home and to explore the Great Lakes. The boat was recommissioned as "Divertimento" (fun in Italian).

After a summer of sailing in 2000, the boat came to rest at its new home in Kewaunee, Wisconsin. 

Over the next 24 years, Divertimento was re-done entirely inside and out; and

sailed by the family thousands of miles around the Great Lakes (Michigan, Huron,

Georgian Bay and Superior). The boat is currently located in Kewaunee, Wisconsin.

Divertimento is a well-balanced, fast, fun, and safe boat built with integrity by one of the finest

builders in the world.
