This twin engine launch has some of the flavour of the hotel launches that were used to ferry passengers from shore to island hotels. He has built canoes that I have designed and these two projects, both custom – the 31’ Lobster boat and the 27’ classic mahogany runabout.
But his love of boats keeps calling him back. Mike Baldwin of Baldwin Boat Works is an artist himself – an industrial designer who creates inspiring custom furniture and architectural signage. The result is a stunning, solid-riding boat that gets used on a daily basis in the summer in Muskoka.īaldwin Lobster Boat – 2002, Runabout 1994 Built in painstakingly careful detail by Clark Wooden Boats in Gravenhurst, even the aluminum frames for the engine compartment were cast as per the original. The shape of this boat was developed from a half model and numerous photos. The original was designed by George Crouch and built by Ditchburn Boats Limited, Gravenhurst, Ontario, but neither drawings nor the original hull exist. Rainbow 1 is a re-creation of a Classic Gold Cup race boat from 1920. So I created a set of lines and located the engine and cockpits, but he designed the rest and was very happy with the result. An interesting project for a talented architect who wanted to design the deck and interior himself.
