I have an old black and orange zodiac that I believe may have been part of
Finisterre's equipment at one time.
It has Finisterre written on it in big black letters anyway.
Bought it well used from a guy in London Ontario, who had a very large
house, and who told me he had been using it "up at the cottage".
I was not familiar with the boat name, but the guy I took it to for
re-gluing in Port Dover was impressed. Said that he knew the boat.
That was about 12 years ago.
You just never know what person or what historical object you might bump
into.

Subject: Re: Stus-List substitution of depth transducers
Russ,
Delighted to hear that my language apparently puts me in the “young”
category. I turned 70 this summer - used to build ham radio transmitters
with my father using vacuum tubes. I do have an old handheld weather radio
that tunes in AM, but the input from this list has convinced me to replace
the old transducer.
The input on this subject has been very helpful, especially the suggestions
for how to remove the old transducer. It sounds much easier than I had
imagined. And as Fred points out - who knows - I might need to measure
water temperature when I sail to Bermuda again - not since 1972 when I
sailed to the Azores with my father on a lovely 43 foot SS yawl, a sister
ship to Finisterre.
Cheers, Eric
