Notas históricas
William Heavenor reports that "The Brico No. 16 was retired from commercial fishing during one of the license buyback programmes of the mid–1970s. This vessel might have been a ‘B’ license. We acquired her then, In 1974. This vessel served us as a work boat doing the odd delivery and supply job around the Gulf Islands but we always intended to convert her fully in to a cruiser. A vivid memory is being on board repainting her fore cabin/engine room interior in Sunshine Yellow when the death of Elvis was announced in the summer of 1977."
