We are delighted to announce that our 2023 Abernethy & Gaudin Boatbuilders Ltd. Young Boaters Scholarship recipient is Eden Murray, with China Cloud.

China Cloud is a 45’ junk rig sailing vessel that was built on the beach with a hand saw and an ax by Allen and Sharie Farrell. Perched upon the mud flats on Lasqueti island and soaring lightly atop the water, this famous vessel and its welcoming aura inspired countless individuals up and down the coast. A masterpiece, an artistic home, and a gentle symbol for living uniquely and with peace, China Cloud is happy to be sailing again 40 years after her launch. Well lived in and starting her deeper restorations by owner, Eden Murray and shipwright, Hans Murray, this legacy of the Farrells and all that loved them will now be happily embedded in community once again!
