Restoring a Concordia at the Dory Shop - Tosca - Part I - “ In 1959 Concordia Yawl #73 was built and shipped to the USA. Since her first owner, Allen Chamberlin, she has had a few names changes: from Windemere, to Ygerne (A.T. Klotts), to Tynaje (P. Ross) and finally to Tosca in 1977 (R & A Harrison). In 1979 Drs. Gerald & Mary Fitzgerald purchased Tosca and she has remained with them cruising extensively in Newfoundland and Cape Breton ever since.
In 2015 Dr. Gerald Fitzgerald came to Lunenburg to take part in one of our dory building classes. In his spare time, he visited a few different boatyards in and around Lunenburg, but ultimately he liked the look and the feel of the Dory Shop. A small wooden boat yard with 100 years of experience under their belt. He spoke with his family, and together they decided the Dory Shop would be the place that should look after Tosca. While in remarkably good shape for being a 56-year old wooden boat, the time had come for some tender and somewhat invasive care. The stories of which will follow right here pretty soon.”
Tosca at the Dory Shop - Canadian Yachting - “The crew at the Dory Shop in Lunenburg have an interesting project, something a little outside their usual dory work. Trudi Peterson Inglis has written a detailed and interesting description of the repairs being made to the Concordia Yawl Tosca. “
