If you file for bankruptcy while living in Alberta you will not be able to claim your boat as a principle residence. To be eligible for a principle residence exemption you must physically be living in the property. Now, the rules determining these exemptions are very specific and you should verify with a trustee in BC whether or not the sail boat will qualify.
