Buffalo Antique Boat Show and Race Reunion, September 6, 2008

The A.C.B.S Toronto WInter Workshop (Feb. 2009)held in Eric Seepa's Orillia workshop, featured the restoration of a rare Peterborough Zephyr (1st 3 photos) which had lain submerged in a mooring for a number of years.  The current owner is the grandson of Mr. Buchanan of Buchanan engines, who first purchased the boat many years ago. This vessel is a magnificent restoration.
