Calanova is a well-known and much-loved Nova Scotia schooner - “faster than she should be”, she’s won countless trophies in her 28 years !
In the final race of the 2013 Nova Scotia Schooner Association’s race week she lost her ballast keel due to corroded keel bolts and capsized. She was sailing amidst several other schooners, was quickly assisted and towed to the yacht club where she was righted and bailed out. David Westergard and John Steele , both boat builders, subsequently purchased her and carried out a refit over the winter of ’13/’14 to ensure this fine vessel keeps on sailing. In the spring of 2014 she was relaunched with a new ballast keel, re-fit hull and deckhouse and an engine that had been serviced to include a new alternator, starting motor and wiring.
Calanova’s accommodations include a hanging locker, galley with a Lunenburg Foundry wood stove, marine toilet and v-berth. Her sails are in good shape ( fisherman staysail has seldom been used ) with like-new sail covers. Calanova is a joy to sail, she can easily be single-handed or comfortably carry 5 or 6 in her spacious cockpit.
