Houde and Bergeron Ltd. had a shipyard on the south shore of the St. Lawrence in Saint Antoine-de-Tilly, Quebec near Quebec City. Before building pleasure craft, they built commercial fishing and transport vessels. Around 1945, they began building both power and sail pleasure craft. The first Whistler class sailboat which was a Rhodes design was what brought them into notability.
In keeping with Houde and Bergeron's heritage, they did build some trawler-type motoryachts one of which is this charming vessel. Her owners have repowered her with twin Ford Lehman diesels and have extensively rebuilt and refitted her.
She is definitely one of a kind and she is looking for a new set of owners to continue loving her and have many more adventures with her.
