YES! How the heck did you know that?!

I can not tell a lie, Wikipedia, but I also knew Canada 1 was one of the boats. Our shop in Port Credit received the cloked welded hull from Nova Scotia, then went to town with Awlgrip as well as some of the outfitting, although there was a sizeable contingent of crew/volunteers engaged on the RCYC end for most of the outfitting. Same happened with True North. Those special projects were always the icing on the cake and helped keep the energy going in our shop
