Anecdotes
Ric Stacey reports that (Email) "I purchased the vessel in 1973 as part of the fisheries buyback program auction. I converted the boat to a liveaboard and cruising vessel. We lived aboard for 10 years before building our floating home. The Horizon sank at our dock in Ladner in 2002 and was a total loss."
