Royal Canadiana 22
RESTORATION

The Royal Canadiana was originlly built 1963 by Jerry Longtin & Harvey Payne for Aubert Brillant, owner of the Canadiana Racing Team.
It is being rebuilt by Harvey Payne's son, Don Payne & his brother in law, Bernard Wood.

Frames for the Royal Canadiana by the late Bill Ellerington (my father's best friend and also a boat builder).
He was the one who got the project started

Twelve months of spare time to align frames and prepare for the plywood.

Preparing the bottom

Finishing the bottom for plywood

Finally ready for plywood

Don will continue to update as the project moves along.
If there are any photos in your archive of this hull that you are willing to share please, do not hesitate to let me know.
