Cabot 36

The Cabot 36 sailboat is a Canadian classic sailing yacht that was built in the 1970s in Sydney, Nova Scotia from plans and drawings by the famous design team of Ted Brewer and Bob Walstrom. Only 49 Cabots were produced by Cabotcraft Industries, which folded in the late ‘70s when orders and government funding diminished and the market for sailing vessels hit a slump in both Canada and the U.S.

Cabotcraft Industries

Cabotcraft Industries (CCI) was the result of a financial partnership between the Cape Breton Development Corporation (Devco), and two Toronto entrepreneurs and boaters, Fred Karp, V.P. at Speedy Muffler, and advertising executive, Jerry Goodes. CCI began operations at Pt. Edward Industrial Park, Sydney, N.S. in late 1972 or early 1973, in World War I naval buildings that had been converted by the Coast Guard for bringing small craft out of the water.

In the early seventies, the mining industry in Cape Breton was on the wane. Devco's mission was to put unemployed miners back to work. Many of the men who went to work for Cabotcraft Industries were miners who learned a new trade in boat building. They might have thought they had not left the mines. Working at CCI was rugged: Coal dust was used for tire grip in the winter snow, resin dust glittered in the sunlight coming through worn windows, and the first crew often dressed inside for winter temperatures.

Cabot is a council ward that covers the centre of Bristol. It gets its name from the Cabot Tower – a memorial tower on Brandon Hill that was built to commemorate John Cabot's voyage and "discovery" of North America.

Areas

This ward contains the whole of the medieval city and many of the oldest surviving buildings. Cabot includes Bristol's Docks, the City Centre and the University of Bristol. Cabot has at least 17 churches, a cathedral, a synagogue, four museums, three hospitals, two theatres, two concert halls, and art galleries and cinemas.

Cabot includes: Spike Island, Baltic Wharf, Redcliffe Hill, Queen Square, Baldwin St, the City Centre, the Old City, Broadmead, Canon's Marsh, Brandon Hill, Park St, Bristol University, Kingsdown, Dove St, the east side of Whiteladies Road, the south side of Cotham Hill and Cotham Brow, and the west side of Stokes Croft.

The area that comprises Brandon Hill, Park St, the Triangle, and the area between Park Row and the Hippodrome has been promoted under the name "The West End". Spike Island is the land between the Floating Harbour and the river Avon; from the digging of the "New Cut" until the Bathurst locks were sealed up it was literally an island.
