I've been lacking on the boat front (that'd be the bow I suppose). Here's another clipping from Barry Y. that mentions his father, Tom, at Locarno Beach in English Bay. Not sure of the year but a lot of people (25,000!) showed up to watch.
The name Jim Hutchison is/was reasonable well known in the power boat world. He is in the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame and has been recognized as a Pioneer by the Greater Vancouver Motorsport Pioneers Society. Find some more about him here.

British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame member Jim Hutchison set and retired boat racing records that were never broken. He also set National kilo and one mile straight away records in his "Teaser" 135 Cu in hydros that were never broken. Eventually the class was retired. Jim Hutchinson was a founding member of the Vancouver Power Boat Assocaiton. His wife Nina was the VPA secretary and kept the records for Region 19. Jim Hutchison was truly a legend in his own time!!
