    Just about anyone from Canada knows this boat. The "Beachcombers" television program was on for over 20 years. The Persephone has been restored and is on display in Gibsons B.C. All the information I can find is that she was built in 1965 for a fellow in Gibsons before she became a Canadian icon. Does anyone know what yard she was built at? Who designed her? Are there others like her? Thanks.

    Doubtless great for whatever she was designed for (crew boat?), but doesn't turn my crank.
