Tina Christine Launch in 1983
“Tina Christine” was the original name for Great Bear Charters‘ 57 foot schooner Singawing. The sail boat was named for Bettina Christine Antle, one of the original owners. Bettina generously provided many wonderful photographs from the first launching. This beautiful vessel took 3 years and 1.3 million dollars to build. It was constructed in British Columbia by Naumann & Dunbar. In 1983, surrounded by friends and family, with a blessing by Reverend Ron Sands, the schooner was lowered into the water. Tina smashed the ceremonial bottle of champagne against the bow of the boat for its proper christening. Bettina Antle would later charter to Desolation Sound, which is still one of Great Bear Charters’ fabulous destinations.
