Paceship Mouette 19
Description
The Paceship Mouette 19 (sometimes referred to as the Mouette 19 or simply Mouette) is a classic Canadian fiberglass centerboard daysailer from Paceship Yachts Ltd. (Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia), designed by G. William McVay. Produced from around 1964 to 1975 (with some sources noting up to the mid-1970s), it's a lightweight, open dinghy emphasizing fun, responsive performance, and ease of handling for family daysailing, club casual sailing, or lake/bay use. It's often compared to boats like the Rhodes 19 or O'Day Daysailer — similar length/beam but lighter displacement for a sportier feel.
