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.
