    Lazee Gal

    Hi there,
    Lazee Gal is my family's boat. It was built in 1953 for the Dueck family (the car company, yes) by Thorton Grenfell. It is 64' including the swim-grid, and is Mahogany over oak frames. My great-grandfather, who is a Bentall, bought it, and it now belongs to my grandmother and her two brothers. Any other questions, feel free to ask me.

    I got the same message, but then clicked on the address in the address bar and hit enter - voilà, it loaded right up.

    There is another local boat called the Vandal that looks similar to Lazee Gal.
    I think the Vandal is a Grenfell of the same length built on the Island by Stone Brothers or something.
    I remember the Vandal years ago in Gibsons BC at the owners summer place on the water next to us.
    Beautiful boats!
    Here are a couple of photos of my grandfather's little 26' Grenfell called "SeaplayII".
    Anyone out there recognize or know anything about it?

    I admit that I've never heard of "Grenfell" boats prior to you and boat4life bringing me up to speed on them.
    Now I can't turn around without seeing one..

    - The first 2 photos are of Grenfells that reside here
    - Black tie
    - Sailboat
    - My favorite time of year (next to summer)

    Never heard of Grenfell?
    attached is a story about him in a February 1997 issue Pacific Yachting magazine...
    I hope it comes through clear enough to read. If not I could PM them to you for your interest.

    The Hardtop Cruiser on the front page looks like the one I captured in the above photo.

    That’s a great historical background read on Grenfell, and the McQueen/Grenfell collaboration.
    When looking at the Bel Air, Vandal, and Lazee Gal yachts, I see lots of McQueen design influence. The only thing that jumps out at me in retrospect with Grenfell’s influence on the above Yachts is the hull window frame treatment.
    But then again, I’m not a designer so I’m probably missing a lot of detail.

    No, but it’s the second time it’s happened. Must be a webshots thing. Copy and past into your address bar and click “return”, if that doesn’t work, go to my website (page 5).
