It's actually a Truant 33 not a 37. The owners of the website


have it

wrong.
Now you guys can hack my boat.




Not the best pic, but looks like a nice boat. Why 'Plumper'?

What about the big boat?

HMS (Her Majesty's Ship) Plumper was the first survey ship on the west
coast of Canada. There are many topographic and oceanographic features
named after it and her crew. Plumper Sound, Bedwell Harbour etc. One
of the previous owners of Plumper II was an Oceangrapher and he named
the boat. It is registered in the Canadian List of Ships and I like the
story. Besides, it's about $500 to change the name of a ship.

The big boat I command is at:

The history is all on that website.
