The Blue Goose Story

SYDNEY shipwright Gavin Clark took the phone call from one of his clients, a local businessman and serial boatowner, asking him to inspect a boat he had seen advertised for sale.
Next thing I know I'm in a place called , funnily enough, Sydney on Vancouver Island on the Canadian West Coast looking at an old boat sitting on drums in a paddock".

But the old boat, Blue Goose, was a thing of beauty and after Gavin reported that she wasn’t in bad shape the businessman decided to buy her and bring her to Australia for restoration for use as a dayboat on Sydney Harbour. read more here...
