Peter Clements wrote in recently to claim one of the few remaining "Active Vessel" slots for Acadia! Peter picked up Acadia in Annapolis in 2000, her name then was...True North! So, we have connected those two boats and some more of the S43 history-mystery has been uncovered.
Peter's original comment can be seen on the Acadia page -- thanks for writing in, Peter!
"i am the current owner of ACADIA which i bought in 2000. The name prior was TRUE NORTH but I brought her back to her original name ACADIA. Boat currently sits in Greenwich CT on the East Coast. She is currently flag blue with white bottom & boot top. The tiller has been changed to a wheel. Down below she has accomodations; large berth in stern & v berth in bow. Main saloon has upper & lower berths both port & starboard. Galley port side next to mast & nav desk starboard next to mast.
Although I do not want to sell her there is a chance she might be a sales candidate."

True North
True North, a storied Serendipity 43
From the records of the Annapolis Yacht Club, 1995 Annapolis-Newport Race:
Annapolis-Newport History Page
"True North, a Serendipity 43 owned by Annapolis resident Mark Myers, finished second in PHRF III and fourth in class with a corrected time of 3:15:54:41. It was the first offshore race Myers has entered in the three years he's owned True North, which was built in 1979 and spent several years campaigning in the Southern Ocean Racing Circuit. "I was excited about the challenge and I'm pleasantly surprised we did so well,'' said Myers, whose only previous offshore experience came as crew for the Marion-Newport race. "I know it sounds trite, but all the credit goes to the crew. In a distance race you're very reliant on the crew so it's important to make sure you have good people with you.'' Myers was thrilled to have as a watch captain Maine native Ed White, the first person he ever sailed with. Annapolis residents Eric Smith, Shane Zwingelberg and Brad Cole were also aboard. "
Past Commodore Mark Myers at AYC (Annapolis) sold his a few years ago and went to a Swan named "TONIC" that he double-hand to Newport this year [2007]. Not sure where "TRUE NORTH" went or if it has new name
True North went to Chester Nova Scotia in the mid 80's
