Canadian Fleet Report .. the nurturing of an Eagle
by Randall Olafson, CAN Fleet Director

While attending the CYA Board meetings this past January in Mystic, Connecticut, we were treated like royalty. Shannon McKenzie, of Mystic Seaport Museum, arranged a myriad of activities that were all outstanding. Just to be able to get a close up look at the fantastic selection of yachts and maritime memorabilia they have was very special. I also had the opportunity to go to Solomon Island, Maryland, to see where our own yacht was actually built. Thus I cannot think of anything more appropriate than to give a little history of our "eastern" bred yacht Double Eagle now berthed quite happily in the west.
