A Few Facts about Cuan Law
Building began in June 1987 in Wheatley, Ontario, a small fishing town on the shores of Lake Eerie. The hull was completed in early November and Cuan was launched and taken on her first voyage across Lake Eerie, through the Welland Barge Canal and across Lake Ontario to Gananoque where Lammer Law was built in 1980. The weekend they moved her was one of the coldest that entire winter and at one point they had five tons of ice on her decks, not to mention the icicles hanging off her wing surfaces. Her interior, rig and commissioning took place in and around Gananoque and a few weeks after her christening she left for the British Virgin Islands via the St. Lawrence Sea Way, Nova Scotia, Bermuda and down. Her passage was not as fast as Lammer Law's in 1980 as she had head winds all the way!

Onboard Cell Phone
As long as you set up International Roaming with your local cell provider before you leave home you will have fairly good cell coverage with your regular number throughout your time on board Cuan Law. If you are coming in a few days early and need to make a lot of calls you may want to purchase a local SIM card from any of the 3 local providers who all have offices in Road Town. This may be a less expensive alternative, although to make & receive calls outside the BVI International Roaming rates would still apply.

We do also have limited WiFi on board.

Watermakers
With two reverse-osmosis watermakers and the capacity to store 1,200 gallons, there is ample fresh water available. The showers function with proper pressure and there is plenty of hot water.

Generators, Engines & Compressors
The mechanical operations of the boat happen quietly in the background, serving the guests without intruding on their enjoyment. Cuan Law with her 5,200 sq. ft. of sail, sails a lot with the good trade winds, but when the wind dies she can do the speed of a power boat using her big twin Cats.

In addition, this impressive vessel has four generators, a complete galley, workshop and an engineer skilled in fixing anything that might go wrong. Backups for backups and quality staff are great comforts on charters and Cuan Law has a good supply of each. In her many years of service Cuan Law has never lost a day through breakdown.
