I am curious as to the latest news with AMORITA. Can anyone provide some insight to her as of late? Thank you.

She was at NYYC's 160th Race Annual Regatta this summer:

Taking the 10-boat Swan 42 class was Charles Kenehan’s Mahalo, which represents one of the New York Yacht Club’s eight different commissioned one-design classes, celebrated this evening at the Annual Regatta Dinner held at New York Yacht Club at Harbour Court.  A “Century of One-Design Racing” will feature the New York (NY) 30 Amorita, a Herreshoff design built in 1905, dockside and dressed for inspection. “She is the oldest yacht (1905) competing here and represents one of the very first one-design classes ever, certainly the oldest of the club’s, with the newest being the Swan 42,” said Amorita’s co-owner Bill Doyle, who is also racing the boat here. An NY 50 named Spartan is also sailing in the regatta; a 72-foot Herreshoff design, she was built in 1915 and today won Class 4.  (http://www.nyyc.org/latest-news-public-blog/1585-160th-annual-regatta-presented-by-rolex-day-2-a-test-of-patience)
