Snyder's Shipyard to Build 'Bluenose IV'

DAYSPRING, NS (May 3, 2007) - Queen of the North Atlantic Enterprises (QTNA) is thrilled to announce that the construction of Bluenose IV will be heralded by the widely renowned and highly regarded Nova Scotia shipbuilders at Snyder's Shipyard in Dayspring. The actual construction site will be on an undeveloped piece of land owned by Snyder's Shipyard alongside the Lahave River, just across from the beautiful, spacious, and easily accessible Municipal Activity Recreation Complex (MARC), owned and operated by the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg.

Snyder's Shipyard Names Exclusive Authorized Builder For Bluenose Classic Sloop

Snyder's Shipyard has been named the exclusive authorized builder for new construction of the Bluenose Classic Sloop, a 23' version of the schooner Bluenose. W.J. Roué designed the sloop in 1948 as a day-sailer for Bluenose enthusiasts. Hundreds of Bluenose Classic Sloops were built from the Roué design from 1948 until 1972, many of which remain afloat in Maritime waters, on the Great Lakes and in the United States. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of new Bluenose Class Sloops will go to the construction of Bluenose IV.
