Bluenose Sloop

 
 

 

At the request of a group from the Armdale Yacht Club in Halifax, William J. Roué, the same designer as the schooner Bluenose, created the design for this fast and elegant sloop in 1945.

Hull #80 was built in 1985 and totally refurbished by Transom Boat Works.  The restoration was completed in August 2008.
