Ottawa Area Model Yacht Club

Paul Wissing (Most recent member of the Ottawa Club) brought his most unusual Dutch Fishing boat. Paul bought this wooden sailboat kit on a trip back home to the Netherlands in 1974, build and finished it 1975 and it sat in his home as a decoration until now. The sailboat is a replica of "The green dragon" (Groene Draeck) a classical yacht still sailed by Crown Princess Beatrix. It was moored in Muiden a fishing village near Paul’s home town Weesp NL. He will attempt to modify it to Radio Control over the winter. In mild weather the boat will be outfitted with 2 jibs. We can’t wait to see this one sailing.
