Bonita is now back from Verchères where she was restored by Jean-Pierre Fournel of Vexcel Yachting . Jean-Pierre is a wooden boat lover, an artist and an exceptional ebenist. He has renovated/built several boats and was featured in L'Escale, a Quebec nautical magazine, for the lobster boat he built in the 90's.
Bonita is getting a new teack deck, one coat of fiberglass on the hull and she will be ready for my trip to the Saguenay river next summer. Progress of the work can be seen here.
