50' Elco Flattop Power Cruiser (1928) - ZEPHYR III

Zephyr is an excellent example of a 50′ Elco Flattop motoryacht being one of several production models for which Elco was highly regarded.

She has ventured as far as Parry Sound in Georgian Bay through the Trent Severn waterway and Ottawa via the Rideau canal. She also participated in the Antique and Classic Boat show at Clayton N.Y. where on three separate occasions she received the Best Preserved Cruiser award. Montreal is on the list for 2024, perhaps revisiting Ottawa.

She carries brass bow chevrons for three years of military service and her initial owner R.J. Forhan is reported to have been the first person to put toothpaste in a tube….a tough act to follow.

The current owner has cared for her since 1992.
