Introduction
Small series sailboat built in Vancouver. The boat has spent the majority of its life on the Canadian west coast. The boat is called Silent Sound. He sailed mainly in the Pacific to New Zealand. It is a very sturdy built boat.
In 2009, Silent Sound made the Northwest Passage from Victoria to Halifax. In preparation for this passage, the then owner had reinforced the hull with four layers of Kevlar. A book, The New Northwest Passage, was published to document the expedition.
The boat was acquired in Halifax in 2010 and has been sailing the St. Lawrence River ever since.
Since its acquisition, a major upgrade has been made mainly in terms of motorization (new engine) and electricity (the boat is autonomous in terms of electricity production).
The boat is well designed for long expeditions
