If you are interested in boats, here's info on the sailing vessel Voyager. It is owned by Rick & Suza and the following details are Rick’s words. “Voyager is a Reliance 44, one of 46 built in Ontario, Canada. They were all built as "bare hull & decks", meaning the factory only did fiberglass work. All interior & systems installations were left to the buyer. The original owner bought hull #3 and spent 20 years finishing the boat. We purchased CanajunA (it was Canadian, eh?) in 1998 and promptly changed the name to Voyager. Voyager was originally built as a ketch, but for many reasons, we decided to remove the mizzen mast which then made Voyager into a bastardized sloop. But then I installed an inner fore stay which converted the bastardized sloop into an even more bastardized cutter. It's not really a cutter because the mast step is too far forward to be a real cutter. So now it is called a slutter. That's not my joke either - that is the popular, but non-technical name for a sloop with an inner fore stay, part sloop, part cutter. A slutter.” That's more info than you needed to know!
