So interested to come across this thread. I sail out of Buck's Harbor in Maine and, when I was a little kid, I remember they used to race Dark Harbor 17's. At some point, the Yacht Club tried to transition to Bluenoses, which never seemed to work out for some reasd and then they ended up sailing the Ensigns, but there have been a couple Bluenoses in the harbor ever since. I neverr had a chance to sail one, but I've always admired them and on their moorings and on those occaisions when I see them under sail out in the bay. Beautiful, beautiful boats.

In researching a Bluenose, I came across this wonderful thread. What a wealth of info. My big question is however, is there one for sale somewhere. We just sold our Pearson 33-2 and want to go smaller(read more fun). When I saw a photo of a Bluenose I knew the boat should be my next boat. So if anyone knows of one for sale, please let me know.
deendave33 at msn.com.
Thanks

I just came across this old post, and I am interested in the Mcvay version and wondering if anyone has one for sale. From what I have learned the Mcvay version has is fiberglass and has the cabin.Am I correct in assuming this?
Thanks, Dave
