Laurie Armstrong

D. LAURENCE (Laurie) ARMSTRONG

LL.B., 1974 from the University of Alberta

Preferred areas of practice include Business Litigation, Income Tax Litigation, and Commercial Law.

When not beating up the Tax Department, Laurie is an obsessive wooden boat builder.  His current boat, LINNET (II), is a 42 foot Express Cruiser, powered by twin 330B turbo charged Cummins diesels.  It will go 28 knots for short periods between fuel docks.  The hull is cold-molded cedar, with an epoxy-glass application.  For pictures, click here.

For every boat, there is a boat kid. For the Linnet (II), that kid was Sam. Click here to see Sam's transformation during construction.

Recently completed, Laurie has just finished building two 18 foot traditional East Coast Cat Boats.  For pictures, click here.
