Coug in BC

Rita's sister Debbie and her husband Hans keep their Beneteau First 375 at SNSYC (Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club) on Vancouver Island.  Went to the clubhouse, and to my surprise, the first piece of artwork I see on the wall upstairs is of Coug!

For those of you who don't know, Coug is a 41ft raceboat that I have been racing on for several years.  All of the owners of ACE used to be partners in Coug before she was sold this spring.

Little more detail

It is a really nice watercolour painting of Coug in its original Canada Cup days from the early 80s. Very detailed with all the spinnaker guys and sheets, runners, and sail number.  I even recognize the spinnaker.

I don't know if it was an original or a print.

It would be interesting to find out more about the history of the work.
