History of Hull #42

Dolce Vita (hull #42) is in pretty good shape, despite the fact that she's had a lot of owners. Since one of my hobbies is genealogy, I decided to try and track down and contact as many previous owners as possible.

According to the HIN, Dolce VIta is Model Year 1977, built in December of 1976.
