Story

This yacht, sail (sloop-rigged) was built in 1984 by Amor Marine (Amor, Frederick John) in Richmond, BC.

Historical Notes

Phil and Di Sky (Email to Nauticapedia 18/11/2018) states that "Her second owners David and Arlene Ball (1995-2013) and sailed her from Vancouver to Australia with many stops in between and were on their way back home but sold her to Sean in the Phillipines - so this vesselhas seen the world. have been lovingly restoring/upgrading her over the past 4 years. As we both still work full time we dont get to do many passages -besides Phills trip back from Mackay we have been to Sydney/ Pittwater/ Hawkesbury with our cruising club a couple of times for a couple of weeks each trip, up to Newcastle for weekends and further north to Port Stephens. We are extremely lucky though to live on such a magnificent waterway as our lake - it is twice the size of Sydney harbour and a salt water lake and we are on her most weekends and every chance we can. This vessel has nicknames within our cruising friends like the Apartment block - because of the stairs, the tardis because it looks much bigger inside and of course the party boat!" Her Canadian registry was closed on November 29, 2010.
