this is one of supposedly 3,000 that my dad put out in his boatshop when I was a kid. I did get a phone call from Bob Bruce from Saturna Is. B.C. about 3 years ago and he was telling me about this little clinker that he was given from a fellow that was moving from the island. it was the one pictured below and I hadn't seen one since about 1951. Bob gave it to me

That must have been a pretty little boat. And I think it could be again. Wish I had the time, energy and skill to build one myself.
