What this video covers

Chris tours a boatyard currently hosting several historic vessels and specialised craft.0:13 The yard provides discounted facilities to the schooner and historic vessel community, attracting boats like the schooner Westward. Other notable vessels currently in the yard include a large tugboat, a Brand Banks, and the Formula 40 trimaran Spirit. The schooner Columbia is also present, which shares a historical connection to the Bluenose from Lunenburg County, Canada. Chris plans to step the mast on his own vessel tomorrow and notes that he remains on schedule despite being behind on preparatory work. Future updates will feature drone footage of the yard’s vessels, including the conning tower of the tug and the rigging of Westward.
