Vessels from Classic Boat Festival will sail past Ogden Point Breakwater starting at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
A 96-year-old woman ticked off an item on her bucket list when she sailed into Victoria on what is believed to be British Columbia’s oldest locally built sailing vessel still in active service.
She would do more than just see the boat. On Wednesday, Zimmerman donned a pink puffer jacket and sun visor and steered SV Dorothy into the Inner Harbour as part of a five-person crew.Matthews said special permission from the harbourmaster was required to sail SV Dorothy into the harbour.“When you get out there on the water, you’ve got something with Mother Nature that gets in your soul,” she said.
“Most of them are age 11 to 12,” he said. “It’s been wonderful just showing off maritime heritage and the vintage days of sail.” The museum hopes that SV Dorothy can eventually find a permanent home in Victoria’s Inner Harbour, he said.
