A Few Facts about Cuan Law
Building began in June 1987 in Wheatley, Ontario, a small fishing town on the shores of Lake Eerie. The hull was completed in early November and Cuan was launched and taken on her first voyage across Lake Eerie, through the Welland Barge Canal and across Lake Ontario to Gananoque where Lammer Law was built in 1980. The weekend they moved her was one of the coldest that entire winter and at one point they had five tons of ice on her decks, not to mention the icicles hanging off her wing surfaces. Her interior, rig and commissioning took place in and around Gananoque and a few weeks after her christening she left for the British Virgin Islands via the St. Lawrence Sea Way, Nova Scotia, Bermuda and down. Her passage was not as fast as Lammer Law's in 1980 as she had head winds all the way!

Onboard Cell Phone
We do have a cellular phone on board Cuan Law and you will be able to make and receive calls during your trip, charged to a major credit card. You can set this up ahead of time by calling CCT Boatphone (284) 494 3825, give them the name of the boat, the dates when you are on board. They will provide you with an exclusive incoming number and outgoing 'pin' which you can activate on boarding. You can also make these arrangements when you get on board or during the trip. We also have a satellite phone which you can use for outgoing calls which we bill at the end of the week. This is cheaper than the cell phone.

Watermakers
With two reverse-osmosis watermakers and the capacity to store 1,200 gallons, there is ample fresh water available. The showers function with proper pressure and there is plenty of hot water.

Generators, Engines & Compressors
The mechanical operations of the boat happen quietly in the background, serving the guests without intruding on their enjoyment. Cuan Law with her 5,200 sq. ft. of sail, sails a lot with the good trade winds, but when the wind dies she can do the speed of a power boat using her big twin Cats.

In addition, this impressive vessel has four generators, a complete galley, workshop and an engineer skilled in fixing anything that might go wrong. Backups for backups and quality staff are great comforts on charters and Cuan Law has a good supply of each. In her many years of service Cuan Law has never lost a day through breakdown.
