This model hull is handcrafted from strips of wood using plank on frame construction method. It is then painted in three colors. The deck is beautifully planked from many strips of wood. There are various details on the deck such as hatches, winches, and cabin. Located on the deck is a metal tilter near the companionway.

This series of fishing boats were commissioned by the Quebec provincial government and built in a Gaspe boatyard as well as a small shipyard Davie Bros. The boat had an oil engine but it was later replaced. The boats had also originally two mast and sails. The design was developed by Howard Chapelle, a naval architect of Boston but born in Nova Scotia.
