Marina Inc. sells and services sailboats. On April 1, Marina financed the purchase of its entire inventory with ACE Finance Company. ACE required Marina to execute a security agreement and a UCC-1 financing statement covering the inventory and proceeds. On April 4, ACE properly filed the UCC-1 Financing Statement covering the inventory, proceeds and after-acquired inventory. On April 27, Marina sold one of the sailboats to Wally for use in his charter business for $100,000 ($50,000 cash and $50,000 on credit). Wally, who had once worked for Marina, knew that Marina regularly financed its inventory with ACE. Marina defaults on its obligations to ACE.

Answer:No, ACE cannot repossess the sailboat purchased by Wally.
