In 1964 this vessel was winner of the Dr. Bob McKechnie Predicted Log Race (RVYC Trophy for the British Columbia yacht with the lowest percentage of error of all British Columbia skippers competing in the International Power Boat Race conducted by I.P.B.A.) under Len Sewell. Susan Harper (Email to Nauticapedia 08/08/2023) stated "My brother Allan Roy Harper owned this boat from about May 2020. Sadly, he died a few weeks ago. It is currently moored on Quadra Island and will likely soon be for sale by his son."
