This gorgeous Bermudian Double Ended Yawl ‘La Vie en Rose’ was designed by Paul Gartside, built by Jespersen Boat Builders in British Columbia, Canada and launched in 2012. The Hull is Cold-Molded with Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, Fiberglass and West Systems Epoxy. The boat is extremely strong, incredibly well-built and should be seen to be fully appreciated!
