RACE BOATS

The Muskoka Lakes Association held their bi-annual Antique Boat Show at Port Carling and with 75 on display and a beautiful day the crowds were pleased. The theme this year was Race Boats, with a third in attendance to show their support, including the newly built replica of the Rainbow I and the fully restored Miss Canada III one.

THE OTHER G-8

This replica was built in 1987 by Duke Marine Services and is being restored, with plans to be featured in a documentary on its famous driver Harold Wilson, in between racing around the lakes with its current owner.
