Successful Launch in Bayside, NB

The boat is in! A successful launch on the 12th of May and now the boat is on her mooring back in St. Andrews after motoring down the St. Croix River on a beautiful spring evening. Still a number of issues to deal with, rigging and a few maintenance tasks to complete. Over the next week or so the Endeavour will be looking like the boat she was meant to be. This weekend at low tide the mizzen mast will be stood into place and the rig tuned. More to follow as the season gets underway.

Fair Winds,

Launch Date Set for May 12th!

Bad Bears Aboard...
Launch Date is now set for May 12th, 2012.  The refit over the winter has been, for the most part, completed.  New teak Cap & Rub Rails; Plumbing completely redone, including pumps, water heater, fixtures and piping; Electrical upgrades and replacement of most original wiring; Propane Fireplace added, to name a few.  Still some maintenance to conduct after the boat is in the water. looking forward to another season of sailing with Family & Friends. Who knows where we end up this summer.  Looking forward to the coast of Nova Scotia in the Endeavour.
