Comments

Sailing Base: Lake Huron Northern Quebec and Northern Ontario

I recently sold a Minuet, it was a lovely boat but we out grew it and found it a bit small for Lake Huron.

We enjoyed many years of sailing in Northern Quebec and Northern Ontario.

I'd like to read about the experiences of others and pass on a few of my own.

 

 Hull #140
  I have the original booklet for the
Minuet and have a few booklets for the bluenose II.
