Vessels in the BBW “river” series:

This series began with what I feel is a necessary presentation for a qualified Stormworks designer is their own version of starter boats. A theme of the Canadian Coast Guard was selected largely as this is my homeland of Canada with one of the largest coast lines of the world plus massive river and lake networks. The boats are named for major rivers in Canada and/or the people those rivers were themselves named after. The general shape of the boat is maintained throughout with only slight changes in hull shape.
