Querencia is a 42′ Sparkman & Stephens centre board Yawl (Design #1054) and sistership to legendary Finisterre. Finisterre was a three-time winner of the Bermuda to Newport race and one of the century’s top ocean racers. Originally christened Nancy L in 1960 at the Wing-on-Shing shipyard in Hong Kong, Querencia is presently moored in Heritage Harbour at the Vancouver Maritime Museum.

This summer, we saw a beautiful yawl across the anchorage in the Octopus Islands, BC. Lo and behold, it was QUERENCIA – the boat I spent the summer before college scraping the bottom and sanding the interior in the middle of a full restoration. I knew little about wooden boats back then, let alone how large a part of my life they would become.
I suppose these beautiful boats have a way of making the world smaller, closer, and more enjoyable. We had a great time hanging out with Duane and even got to sail south together on a beautiful sunny day. Hope to see you again this summer somewhere!
