Let me guess.. more than two thousand hrs to build it? It's a beauty and like the others I hope you get what you want for it.

Don't give up Yancovitch send some photos to the Smithsonion, Chicago's museum of science and industry. That is wonderful work, you are among the Masters of ship buiding in our modern day society. That is just a great work thanks for sharing.

That should take pride of place in Vancouver Maritime museum. I’ll build them a case for free.

I saw your story on the tv news yesterday. That ship, while looking good in the pic here, looks fantastic on the tv. I am surprised tho that the maritime Museum doesn't want it. Good luck with the auction.
