Website Name: Bruce 22 - Gentleman's Launch
The genesis for the development of a period-style launch was a 1945 Myles Jeffrey 22ft. open utility owned by Ward McKimm, a great friend of Ian Bruce's on 31 Mile Lake, north of Ottawa, and greatly admired by Ian and which, Ward said, was greatly coveted by many of his friends on the lake. That would be understandable as his boat was one of about only 50 boats, in different configurations, built by this incredible craftsman in his lifetime. Jeffrey had been the Head Joiner in the famous Algonac plant of Chris Craft in the 20’s only to return to Canada in the Depression and set up his one-man shop in Athens, Ontario.
