John: that's excellent history...! Thank you; please keep this type if
information coming!
BTW...have you ever thought of putting together a coffee table type book of all

To call the Nautilus a C&C design is a bit of a stretch. It was designed by
Henri Adriaanse who did work for C&C in the late 60's. These boats were
designed in the late 70's. Now Henri and my Dad had a close relationship
through out their lives and went on to produce the Mark 19 and Mark 25 together
later in their lives. Sailboat Data credits the Mark Series design to C&C
which is wrong and properly should be credit to Motion Designs Limited.
Here is my Dad's notes on Henri
Henri was in our design office about five years. He came out from Holland to
work for George Hinterhoeller at Niagara-on-the-Lake. | don’t know if that was
arranged. One day— we’re talking late ’60s—my phone rang and it was George
Hinterhoeller. He said, “| have a young man here whose abilities would be much
better served in your design office.” We had that relationship amongst us, to
do what was best for the company.
So along came Henri Adriaanse, armed with drawings. About five years after
that, he decided to move back to Niagara-on-the-Lake, for reasons | never
understood. His family had never moved over here. That, in a nutshell, is why
in the photograph [of the C&C design staff] Henri is not there. That’s because
he'd just moved back to Niagara; otherwise he would have been front and center.
| was sorry he decided to move back. --
