Anecdotes
Heather Whyte (Email- Nauticapedia 30/09/2020) stated "It was owned by my father, Phil Nicholson, from 1955 until 1979, initially as a water taxi, and later, when that business closed, as our family's recreational boat. It's my dad driving the boat in the photo, although I cannot tell you what year the photo was taken. In the years that it was used as a water taxi there was a white arrow painted along both sides of the hull. I do not know if the boat was named by my father or if it was named prior to his purchase of it."
