Set the wayback to the 1920's and Ditchburn Boats in Muskoka. They built a few Gold Cup boats and the first stepped production hulls, if you call 6 boats production. Mint Julip was a 45 mph ride in 1929
The 1924 Gold Cup Controversy
Greening's Rainbow IV had apparently won the race but was seen by some as being a hydroplane rather than a displacement hull. And so, a protest was filed.
The craft's bottom was of lapstrake construction, which was technically permitted by the rules. The APBA decided, however, that the strakes had been installed for the express purpose of achieving a hydroplane effect. In other words, Greening had followed the letter of the rules but not the spirit of them.
As a result, Rainbow IV was disqualified and Caleb Bragg's Baby Bootlegger was moved from an overall second to first position. This action effectively ended the Gold Cup career of Harry Greening. He never raced for the cup again.

Mint Julip is for sale on Peter Breen's website, $450K Cdn = $356K US. I've never met Peter Breen but I am a fan. I see his boats in Gravenhurst or at least I used to when the antique boat show was on.
I sometimes wonder if the Breens know the Weigls. Both are now father/son operations building cool boats in Cambridge ON. Mark and Thomas of course make the Tuff boats

03-23-2022, 07:11 PM #793You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
