2011 Classic Boat Festival

The 2011 Classic Boat Festival is happening this September 2,3 and 4th, Labour day long weekend in the Victoria inner harbour. The events start at noon on Friday and go until Sunday night. There will be all the usual events such as award dinners and a sailing race. We will be participating this year along with our festival The Open Boat Festival. We will have 10x20 stand stet up on the wharf to display our newly built boats and to meet with boaters.
We are looking forward to this event and we would like to give a very special thanks to the volunteers at the Classic Boat Festival and the people that put the show together.

Llanoria 6 meter takes third place

We were very excited to hear that LLANORIA (US 83), the 1948 Sparkman & Stephens design, came in third at the 2011 6 meter Worlds in Helsinki Finland.
At the beginning of this year we were a part of the team that restored Llanoria in what I believe to be record time. Her restoration was completed in late spring and shipped overseas to race. Llanoria had previously won at the Olympics in the Summer of 1952.
Thanks again to Jesperson Boatbuilders for the opportunity to work with them on this project and congratulations to the crew who sailed her.
