No. Most boats cannot be longer than that, but not all the boats are 45 feet or less in length. One is 35 feet long or less. Many are 40 feet long or more precisely 39 feet 11 inches. Some are 37 or 38 feet long, up to 45 feet. I would say that the average would be about 40 feet. Nothing remains boxed up. Lengtheners and breasthooks are unusual although we see many in the Maritimes or in Nova Scotia. The Magdalen Islands have not yet adopted these practices.
