The name Cuan Law reflects owners and designers, Duncan and Annie Muirhead's Scottish heritage. "Cuan" is the Scottish-Gaelic word for ocean and "Law" means mountain. Cuan Law with her towering white sails appears to be a snowy mountaintop rising from the ocean. The Cuan Law was built in Canada and she and her sister ship Lammer Law in the Galapagos Islands are the world's largest sailing trimarans, built for cruising.

Building began in June 1987 in Wheatley, Ontario, a small fishing town on the shores of Lake Eerie. The hull was completed in early November and Cuan was launched and taken on her first voyage across Lake Eerie, through the Welland Barge Canal and across Lake Ontario to Gananoque where Lammer Law was built in 1980. The weekend they moved her was one of the coldest that entire winter and at one point they had five tons of ice on her decks, not to mention the icicles hanging off her wing surfaces. Her interior, rig and commissioning took place in and around Gananoque and a few weeks after her christening she left for the British Virgin Islands via the St. Lawrence Sea Way, Nova Scotia, Bermuda and down. Her passage was not as fast as Lammer Law's in 1980 as she had head winds all the way!

Accommodations:
The accommodations aboard Cuan Law are spacious and comfortable. There are ten double staterooms, each can be set up to suit your needs with a double bed or twins, side by side. You won't find cramped bunk beds aboard Cuan Law and you've got plenty of walking around space.

The staterooms are directly off the main lounge so each room has an outside view. The rooms are very quiet regardless of what's happening on the outside.

Storage space is abundant with shelves and two large drawers for each guest as well as a hanging closet in each cabin. There's plenty of room to spread out and there's lots of stowage space for baggage - even hard cases!

The cabins are fully air-conditioned, with a fan speed control to allow you to set your own comfort level. Outside windows and overhead hatches give you the option of natural ventilation, along with splendid views.

All staterooms have a private bathroom with shower and a toilet that works just like the one back home - no marine head here so you don't have to worry about which valve or lever to push first. There is a standard 110 outlet, and every bathroom contains an overhead hatch, which helps eliminate the claustrophobic feeling you can get in the bathrooms on some boats. Fluffy, colorful towels and quality linens add the finishing touch.

The stringent requirements of our marine authorities demand that each room on the ship - even bathrooms - have two escape routes. Thus all the hatches and windows are man-sized. The same requirements result in Cuan Law having several watertight bulkheads and a double bottom. These are safety features found on few other ships of this size.
