Today was a good day in the “history” arena. A few weeks ago I purchased the April, 1931 issue of Yachting from a vintage publication shop and it showed up today in the mail. I was in search of February 1932 which is the issue with Mahdee, but I was very happy to find this issue for Mahdee’s library. April 1931 was the month Mahdee was launched. We expected to see a little note about the launching perhaps. Instead, the Yachting has a full page profile of Alexander W. Moffat. As it turns out, 1931 was the year that he became Commodore of the Cruising Club of America.
