1939 McGruer JOHAN OF RHU - 6mR int., 55 000 EUR

A 1948 James McGruer design, near sister to Noa and GBR 48 Caprice, she was acquired from Tobermory on Lake Huron, in June 2004 by a Vancouver syndicate headed by Craig Murray. She represented Great Britain in the 1948 Olympics. After being sunk by another six in the early 90?s at the last 6 meter event to take place on Lake Ontario, she languished in a boatyard and was later purchased at auction in a lien dispute. She was restored and renamed "Phoenix", then "Renaissance." Johan was reassembled just in time to compete in the 2004 North Americans in Vancouver in the Summer of 2004, her first six meter event since her unfortunate sinking.
Herr current owner bought Johan in 2011 in Vancouver and started a major refit of 8 years.
Johan of Rhu is now in ready to sail condition and can be inspected on short notice.
