Apologies for the delay. I was away today (super busy day) and missed the start of round 4. We will begin round 4 tomorrow at around noon instead, I am waiting on a tiebreaker vote for a couple matches (in private messages) and I will let you know when the votes are in. This is a close one!

Still waiting on the tiebreaker votes. Sorry again for the delay. In hindsight I should have had someone with the roll as official tie breaker. We will extend the final two rounds to last 3 days once the results are in for this round.

1) Queen of New Westminster vs. Queen of the North:
2) Queen of Tsawwassen vs. Queen of Nanaimo:
Remember, you are voting for your personal favorites in the matchups.

I feel bad for delaying the event for so long, but I don't want to just randomly select because I feel like that would unfairly eliminate two fantastic ships. |

Round 4:
Round 4 consists of 4 matchups, 10 vessels. Matchups 2 & 4 consist of 3 vessels to vote from, due to the two ties in round 3. Please still only vote for one, as this will allow us to have 4 ferries move on to round 5. Next round will start in a few days, or when all the active voters have submitted their votes.
1) Queen of Vancouver vs. Northern Expedition:
2) Queen of New Westminster vs. Queen of the North vs. Mayne Queen:
3) Queen of Burnaby vs. Queen of Prince Rupert:
4) Queen of Sidney vs. Queen of Tsawwassen vs. Queen of Nanaimo:

1) Northern Expedition 2) Queen of New Westminster 3) Queen of Prince Rupert 4) Queen of Nanaimo BONUS: Coho I have worked on several of the 'finalists', and will reveal which ones they were at the completion of the exercise. I would be interested to know how/why some of our younger members made some of their selections, as they likely didn't have any 'passage' experience on them. Interesting in an exercise like this: why do we make the choices we do? |

I've got no criticism of this poll; I'm sure people had fun with it, as it generated a fair number of responses, and I appreciate anyone contributing to activity on the Forum. But I didn't participate, because I like tons of different ferries, and it's not important to me to determine which one I like best. I've read everything Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy ever wrote, and determining who I like slightly better just doesn't matter to me. |

I've read everything Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy ever wrote, and determining who I like slightly better just doesn't matter to me. It's perfectly fine if people don't want to make a choice. I think this poll is a good exercise for having people think about what details/aspects of ferries they like the most. Especially for ferries from the same class that look identical to the average person. For example, the Queen of Nanaimo and the Queen of Burnaby, what details do you like that makes you pick one ferry over the other? We can discuss that after the poll and I am happy to share some of my personal views, especially since I never rode most of the V class, and yet I still like them all a lot. |
