The Bonne Chance, a yawl belonging to Robert Lewis Evans.

Among the sailboats owned by Robert Lewis Evans in his lifetime was Bonne Chance, an old Lower St. Lawrence yawl. A sail in the stern makes the yawl very easy to handle.
Lewis Evans not only loved to sail his boats, but also to maintain and repair them, with the help of expert local carpenters and caulkers. In this, he followed in his father’s footsteps, and his children would continue the tradition. For that matter, Bonne Chance still exists, dry-docked at Tadoussac, waiting to sail again.
