About

TODAY is a 1962 Avro Richardson 36 Phantom Express Cruiser. She is a classic and classy cruiser with the beauty of an old wooden boat but with a carvel-planked aluminum hull built by Avro Aircraft Canada so it is a worry-free hull and also a touch of Canadian history.

In the 1960s the Avro Company, located in the Toronto area, made approximately 150 hulls in 4 models of various lengths and shipped them to Richardson Boat Works in Tonawanda, NY to have the custom-built superstructures completed in wood (mainly mahogany). The carvel-planked hulls were constructed of aircraft aluminum frames and 1/8" aluminum planks with the result being amazingly strong and light.

TODAY is an excellent example of that collaboration. She is a well maintained, gas powered cruiser that is both comfortable and economical to operate. The owners have complete records of all work done and maintenance performed while they have owned this vessel as well as all equipment manuals.

The owners have meticulously rebuilt her over the last 22 years since they purchased her and she is truly amazing. TODAY was repowered in 2016 with twin Chrysler Fury 318 engines that have only 25 hours on them since their rebuild in 2002. She has been completely rewired and replumbed to meet current ABYC standards. She does have a 2018 Insurance Survey where she absolutely shone and the surveyor was extremely impressed with her condition.

Testimonials

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Greg. Last October, my husband suddenly passed away due to a heart attack, leaving behind two boats. Greg was instrumental in helping me sell the first boat quickly and at a very good price. As for the second boat, due to my husband's declining health in his final year, the boat had been sitting idle at the dock near our home for over a year. Greg demonstrated the utmost professionalism in cleaning, maintaining, and preparing the boat for sale. He put in a tremendous amount of work, understanding the niche market for this boat, and always kept me informed of his progress without burdening me with the stress of the process. Last week, Greg successfully sold the second boat, and I am very satisfied with the price achieved. His professionalism and confidence in his work gave me a much-needed sense of security during such a difficult time.

Thank you for all your work in facilitating the sale of our dad's boat. Jake and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into it with the many visits, paperwork, etc. A special mention has to go out to Grant for teaching me how to fold the sails!

As first-time boat buyers and as foreigners wanting to buy a cruising catamaran in the US, we knew we needed a reliable broker that had our best interests in mind. John Heintzman was just that, and more! He was extremely committed to understanding what we were looking for, gave great advice, and guided us through the purchase process with great patience and knowledge. All in all, we felt very well taken care of.

I feel compelled to reach out about the absolutely wonderful experience that I have had with Grant and Patricia Bowlby. I completed the purchase of a boat yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. They were so helpful, kind, and patient. This was my first experience with a broker, and I think I’ve found the best.

I can’t thank Ewan Campbell enough for the super job he did in selling G, making up for my lack of experience in this realm and patiently searching for just the right buyer and a win-win for seller and buyer alike.
