Less Than Yacht Fare. Although no detective testified to any sort of misbehavior by Muriel, Reynolds sued her for divorce, charging "prior cruelty," which Muriel hotly denied. She presented an affectionate letter from Reynolds to prove that he had not felt himself very cruelly treated. The suit was first heard in Mclntosh County, Ga., which includes Sapelo Island.

With 563 sq. ft. of sail on a beamy (11 ft.) Fiberglas hull, Chris-Craft's "sail yacht" is powered by a hefty 60-h.p. engine that gives it a cruising speed of six or seven knots. In cabins finished in maple paneling, it sleeps six comfortably (two in a bridal suite aft of the cockpit) and sports two heads, one with a shower. Price: $24,495. This...
