"In 1977, Réal Bouvier crossed the Northwest Passage in command of JE Bernier II, a sailing boat of 11 meters. The JE Bernier II remains the smallest vessel to have cleared the crossing in one season and the first sailing boat to have toured North America, a journey of 18,500 nautical miles.

The J.E. Bernier II was built by Fercraft Marine in Côte-Sainte-Catherine, QC. It is a 11.8 meters (39 ft) long steel cutter built according to the plans of Robert Dufour, the naval architect who designed the Corbin 39 shortly after. The J.E. Bernier II features a lily to the point of halyard of its mainsail, has a displacement of 9.9 tonnes (22,000 lb), a draft of 1.52 meters (5.0 ft) and has a Volvo Penta diesel motor of 36 hp."
