POTW: Where do boats go next? Hamilton?

Where Do Boats Go

Jan 11, 2022

Our Video of the Week comes from Matt Ingram, a reporter at CHCH in Hamilton ON who investigated an abandon, unloved Viking 28 in Hamilton Harbour.

“For several months now, a sailboat has been abandoned in the waters off of Bayfront Park in Hamilton.

The vessel called Kraken has been tied to a rock, floating just offshore, in a popular area for walking.

The late doctor Patrick O’Boyle Kelly owned the Viking 28 sailboat, Kraken, for about forty years. His son, Daniel O’Boyle Kelly says, ‘he did win the Club Championship which had eluded him for so many years.’ “

Our Photo of the Week this time evolved into a video but why not? If you have a photo or a video for POTW, please send it along. We’re always open for business at CYonboard@kerrwil.com and please put POTW in the subject line. Your call – photos from this summer’s cruise, icicles on your boat this winter or, for our BC contingent, make us jealous with some mid-winter cruising!

Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
