TOM's BOAT - RAYADOR

Tom's former boat - Rayador ... The following photos here were taken when the second owner offered the boat for sale .

Tom had built the entire interior and deck equipment for this boat.

Tom and Sandra then spent 3 years living aboard this boat in the Bahamas, before coming back home to Niagara.
On their homeward voyage, I met them in Halifax when I was retrofitting a hot water heat on L'Chayim.

The stack seen infront of the starboard windshield if from a Dickenson diesel cast s.s. stove & oven which gives fantastic dry heat. 90% of all commercial fishing vessels have them.

ANNAPOLISA - David Corkum, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada

ANNAPOLISA ... Shown here on a close reach in her home waters of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. ... built in 1980, her first home was in Newfoundland, then Lake Huron, Ontario and now she is backto the Atlantic waters. A quote from her present owner; ... " With her roller furling sails and all self-tailing winches, she is a pleasure to solo sail as shown. She has a good turn of speed when combined with her appearance (pilothouse and dingy nested on her davits), making her a bit of a wolf in lamb's disguise ! We have collected trophies at the Lunenburg Yacht Club and the Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron. ANNAPOLISA is a fast, comfortable cruiser for a family, or a party of two couples. " ... photo by Jerry French

ANNAPOLISA - sadly she is for sale........

I thought she had found a good home,

back on the east coast where she first felt the North Atlantic waters.
