In 2004 ASTRAGALE was transported from Ontario to Quebec city were she underwent a complete and thorough refit.
A thorough inspection of the hull was conducted and a section of the bow, chain locker location, was replated with 3/16 of an inch by the son of M. Mailloux, who works as a professionnal ship welder.
A dog house was added, 1/8 of an inch plate, to have an inside watch area with a collapsible seat. Portholes made of lexan 3/8.
"Astragale" was back in the water in 2015 and navigated St-Lawrence river and the Maritimes.
The interior finish is to yacht standards; a great opportunity for a couple looking for a strong pocket cruiser to explore remote coves and bays.
Fully equipped for cruising with recent survey available on request.
The boat is currently located at South Shore Marine in Chester Basin, NS.
