Help Locate the Scarlet Pimpernel

Boating Industry Canada has been approached by the archivist for the Bangor (Northern Ireland) S Class of yachts. This club would be most grateful for any help that our readers could give in tracing “Scarlet Pimpernel” (built in 1950 of mahogany on oak) which was last known to be in Ontario in 1973 when she was owned by G. B. Turner. The picture below is from that date. The other picture of Salna No 19 is for comparison showing the distinctive class outline and cruiser stern.
 
This year is the 65th anniversary of the first three boats being launched. At a very successful Reunion held last month at the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, Bangor, Northern Ireland “Scarlet Pimpernel” was identified as being one of the last 4 boats still to be located.
 
Boating Industry Canada readers can see that their website www.shipyardboats.co.uk contains in-depth information on the boats they have traced to date. If you have information, email it to aadams@kerrwil.com

Four Winns’ new H9 is stunning!

As of July 1st, 2024 the embargo is lifted on the photos and information about Four Winns’ new H9 model and it is stunning!

About a month ago, I traveled to Charlevoix, MI for a special press event to introduce the H9 to a small group of journalists. The water and the weather were a bit cool but the sun was out and Lake Charlevoix was calm and the Four Winns H9 was very impressive. This is a 29-foot 11-inch luxury day boat with a 9- foot 2-inch beam and it features a fabulous expansive flat floor all the way from the bow rider area to the transom and the swim platform.
