Hi John, Another interesting mid Cuthbertson and Cassian design, before the creation of C&C Yachts. Big George tells me that *Psyche II*, designed for Bob Grant, a future Commodore of RCYC, was essentially a sister to *Ivanhoe II* which proceeded *Psyche *by a couple of years. *Ivanhoe II *was design number 64-4 for Comm. Ray Engholm, also of RCYC. She was built in aluminium at Engholm's aluminium fabrication company Macotta. In actual fact Erich Bruckmann installed the interior in *Ivanhoe* after he left Metro Marine and had gone into the kitchen installation business. It was probability the building the interior on* Ivanhoe* which kept him in the boat business. The building of the interior at the same time as the hull led to all sorts of problems with the aluminium welds in the hull, but that's another story! *Psyche *was design number 66-4, and followed the Redwing 30, *Inferno II*, and *Red Jacket*, and immediately preceded the Redline 41 and the Whitby 45. Therefore, unlike Ivanhoe, *Psyche* was designed with a separate keel and rudder. She was also built in aluminium by Enholm's company Macotta, but I'm not sure who installed the interior. Possibly Dick Kneulman at Ontario Yachts. *Ivanhoe,* which had a full keel and attached rudder was also later modified to the separate keel and rudder configuration. Neither boat was specifically successful on the race course, since the *Ivanhoe* hull lines preceded *Red Jacket,* and Engholm himself was a tad more conservative then Perry Connolly in the type of boat he wanted. The *Ivanhoe/Psyche* "sisters" were part of the transition in yacht design taking place in the 1960s. It's great to see *Psyche* still looking so good. A remarkable boat.
Bob Grant would be part of a number of Canada's Cup syndicates, and later owned a C&C 48, one of George's last designs at C&C, before he handed design responsibilities over to Rob Ball. Bob Grant also bought an Aurora 40, I believe, Mark Elis' first design after parting company from C&C Custom Sales.

Amazing to see hull #10 available.
