After two weeks on the hard in the Iroquois Marina, we are finally launched! There were difficult moments when it was not clear whether the frame crane would be able to lift us, but in the end all the problems were resolved and we also installed the mast. Good job of marina’s team and our crew!

After more than 25 years of being in the Britannia Yacht Club, “Spallpeen” is moving towards the marina in Iroquois on the St. Lawrence River, open to the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean – more than 100 km to move by land!

Finally, we have finished preparing for the transportation of our sailboat to the big water. There was a big problem with cradles – transport companies required at least 8 legs to maintain the boat’s weight, but we had only 6. With a lot of help from our former colleague and friend Steve Brind’amour, we managed to make 10 legs! Thank you, Steve and Frank for making it!
