Manitou

February 7, 2009 1 Comment

Here is another model boat made by yours truly. Manitou is a 14 inch model sailboat first made from scratch in 1978. Back then I used to sail her on our farm’s pond in Omemee. After discovering Manitou cast aside in the basement back in Toronto, I refitted her in 2006. The Volvo Ocean Race online sailing game motivated me to put together
this video of the 1978/2006 pictures and some video of her 2006 re-launch. That’s my brother-in-law, Keith, enjoying the champagne during the re-christening!
