Design record — from the Cuthbertson Archives
The George H. Cuthbertson Archives hold the original C&C design file for this boat. The key facts from that record:
| Drawing no. | 65-8 | Year of design | 1965 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Designer | Cuthbertson & Cassian Limited | Builders | Grampian Marine Limited; Ontario Yachts Limited |
| Archive accession | Marine Museum of the Great Lakes (MMOTGL), 2001.0066.0471 (1–15) | ||
The archive notes that the moulds later became the Viking 22, which is one reason near-identical boats turn up under other names. For the Paceship Blue Jacket and a short-lived Hinterhoeller version, see the owner’s account on this site, which the archive cites.
