“I’m sailing away
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
‘Cause I’ve got to be free
Free to face the life that’s ahead of me…”

You might be right.

Not really, but by prairie standards it’s a monster. We’re curious the plans they had for it as it’s not really suitable for lakes of the area.

Something like that we suspect. Either way, it’s a sad unfinished broken dream perhaps.

It looked to be fibreglass.

Call us weird, but we love ugly subjects shot like this. Thanks!

I wonder about the wisdom of building a 40 foot sailboat in landlocked Alberta.

Never finished? The family not sure what to do with it maybe. Beautiful pictures, but a bit sad too.

It’s just so interesting and it’s too bad we couldn’t dig up more (it’s a resources thing). Still, maybe someone will see this and come forward.
