Thane creates smiles. Help hoist the sails as she sails off into the picturesque Strait of Juan de Fuca!
Built in Victoria, BC in 1978 by Len Pearson, THANE is a 17m (55') gaff rigged ketch. She is fashioned out of recycled materials salvaged from industrial sites and character buildings. Heavily framed and planked in yellow cedar, THANE is modeled after Joshua Slocum's SPRAY, the first vessel to circumnavigate single-handed in 1895. Owned and operated today by Rob McCallum, we are Transport Canada certified to carry up to 18 passengers and 2 crew. Thane is also certified Gold by Green Tourism Canada.
