We all remember Michael Mason's pledge to design a "SWBANS-boat" for us. A questionnaire was sent out, our members responded,  and  "Go, Michael, Go".

A first impression of "our" boat was presented to us on our AGM in Mahone Bay last August. A month later Michael presented the close to finished project on our monthly meeting.

For all those who missed her, here she is: "SWABBIE" (if you build her you'll use plywood not cardboard, and she will be bigger, this is just a model! And yes, you can use other colors to paint her)

For more details on the design, the story of her creation, and everything else check out the November 2002 newsletter, or if you are not a member of SWBANS contact Mason Marine Designs for more details!
