    I wonder anyone can help me but I am looking for a reliable boatbuilder anywhere in Canada (but I would prefer in the eastern part ) able to built a 10,5 to 12 meter sailboat in aluminium. I have been searching for a while on the Net without real success.

    Thank you,

    Try also http://www.kanteryachts.com/

    I'm sure there are others as well. Check with yacht designers Steve Killing (associated with Proteus Engineering), Bruce Kirby, or Rob Ball of Edson Steering.

    East Isle Marine in Georgetown PEI is a shipyard that normally does big stuff (government, commercial, etc.) but is a specialist in aluminum construction and have on senior staff Mr. James McConnell, who built ally yachts in Ontario as McConnell Yachts, then built the America's Cup boat True North in a partnership with Bob Crockett at Crockett-McConnel Inc. in Nova Scotia. With him running the show, I'm certain EIM has the capabilities to undertake your project.

    Looks like there are some good leads here, Erik. Allow me to also note that there are some top notch hydro labs in Canada, most notably IMD. People there might be able to give you additional guidance. See http://wwwvl.naoe.ish.dtu.dk/Universities.htm for links.

    You might also ask Kevin Milne at http://www.marsmetal.com/

    I'd love to hear more as your project develops!
