Aft View

Heather K. in a Rideaux Canal lock.
Note the antennae and mast are
lowered to obtain a 16 ft. clearance
to transit underneath the many
bridges. The stainless steel arch
over the Bimini adds support to
the mast mounted radar platform.
The arch and the Bimini top can be
lowered to achieve a 14 ft. height,
if required.

Front View

Heather K. in the St. Anne locks
outside of Montreal. This lock has a
floating dock that allows boats to tie
up and not have to adjust lines while
locking through. Note the 110 lb. Buegel anchor on the bow. It and 400 ft of 3/8 in. chain provide a good sleep-at-night
factor.  They hold so well that
the engines are used to break out of
heavy mud rather than straining the
anchor winch.
