Missed my Fryday chance last week. Re: Gordon Lightfoot. Golden Goose: The Goose was a masterpiece wood strip plank 39 ft. +/- sailboat that Lightfoot had built by a master craftsman named Vic Carpenter at his boatyard in Southern Georgian Bay. Lightfoot does not refer in song (so long as I remember) to to his sailing interest except "In the Lee of Christian Island". Vic Carpenter went on to build some larger wood sailboats culminating in a 48 +/- sloop named "Passing Wind" Both of these guys, Carpenter and Lightfoot, should have had a Westfalia.
