Hi Konakoma:
I originally hail from the Elliot Lake area, done all my sailing...so far...in the North Channel of Lake Huron. Pretty and picturesque! Owen Sound....had friends in Meaford a long time ago...he's passed since then.
Our Bayfield is up in Blind River, hope to get it down this way this season. If we were closer, or if I thought the tower wouldn't get damaged in transit, I'd be sending you some $$$. We purchased a
Simrad NSS7 and 3G radar for our Bayfield.....lucky for me, my brother in law owns a fab shop in Windsor, and my son is a red seal welder...so I've got it covered both ways, but yours is a good deal in my opinion.
Enjoy your new to you vessel....they are on our short list as well...our long term plan is to retire and sail off into the sunset...to the
Caribbean and who knows after?
Take care....send me updates on your retrofitting your
new boat to your specs....I enjoy that kind of thing. Fair winds fellow Canuck!
