Great looking build. How much does she weigh and how do you move her.

Renaming that Province may cause as much noise as renaming the "Gulf". L'Anse ax Meadows a world heritage site is estimated to be over 1000 years old.

I understood from my history lessons that the vikings were active on the NE coast of England and returned there many times also Ireland and Normandy. What about the settlement in Newfoundland?

A friend of mine used clear varnish when she built her 30 ft sail boat and it looked great.

As some one has commented, its to commercial these days. I can remmber a neighbour being tricked many years ago, the local kids knew that they did not have kids and did not enter into the spirit ? of the night. So next morning their windows and front door were covered in white pray foam. It just washed off but it was funny to see.

Larger photo would aid in reviewing layout but offhand would guess air intakes facing forward are wrong and life boat David's need further spacing to allow boats be launched.

Several years ago a gentleman who lived on Salt Spring Island provided DIY Boating ⛵magazine with the naming protocal as follows;
Remove the original name with prepared speech de naming the vessel and then rename but do NOT mention the old name with a toast or two and some witness " As the owner of this vessel I call upon the Sea God Neptune, God of the Wind Aeolus, Godes of the Tides,the Storms and Precipitation to listen while I thank them for their protection over the last...... years and do strike from their records the Name .........." "I now ask for their indulgence in extending their goodwill and protection to the vessel in her new name , I offer this libation to make the ceremony official and complete." I now put forth a new name for this vessel which we trust will serve her well and ask Neptune and all the Gods of the sea to grant their protection under the name ............. I now offer a libation in thanks and recognition to this protection.
Must have the drinks!!!!

always understood that when renaming a ship/boat one had to say the special pray to the gods of the deep.

To me a boat transducer is in the hull normally pointing down and help to provide info on fish, depth etc. An anometer is normally a wind recorder.

Hi Roy
Many thanks for the info. I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with friends on a 40 C&C on Lake Ontario while I really enjoyed and appreciated the skill required to operate decide I prefer twin engines and power
Although after seeing a twin engine ketch which I belive was ex National Geographic I could be converted.

Austin
