In todays video we take a tour of the 58ft Sealing Schooner Favourite, the boat that gave Favourite Boatworks its name.
Favourite is a Frank Fredette design sealing schooner, built in 1981.
Favourite has an internal 74hp Lehman Diesel engine, and is currently undergoing a full restoration and renovation headed by Lyle Franklin.
The boat has been rebuilt from the keel up with extensive repairs to framing, planking and house.
