Hal's son, Steve, kept the boat for several years after his father
passed.....he sold it to someone in St. Margaret's Bay, where it met its
final fate.
Steve bought a 35 footer.....not sure but it might be an OD 35.

The 37R, Third Wave, was sold last year and the new owner ran it
hard aground, I believe motoring, in his home waters of St.
Margaret's Bay. My understanding was that the hull ribs, etc.
were severely damaged to the point where repair costs greatly out
wayed the value of the boat. So she was written off.
The newer sails listed (the 2000's models) are in very good to
excellent condition.
As for the color (blue with gold waves), the boat was originally
an 'off white'......nice looking boat then....it was originally
owned by an American who kept it here in Nova Scotia (Chester
mostly).....then he sold it to Capt. Hal Davies, a retired CDN
naval officer, who with his son, Steve, also extensively raced the
boat. For some strange reason, Capt. Davies had the boat painted
this 'blue' when I didn't think it needed a paint job in the first
instance.
The boat was raced long and hard and has the 'silverware' to prove
it. May it RIP.
