Back in the 80's the friendly rivalry between towns along the Ottawa gave rise to "Pointerboat Races" that were held at various town regattas.
This picture was taken at Arnprior in 1983.
Some of the boats were the real thing while others were replicas built to Pointer boat specs. The boats were towed out to the starting line by an ICO Tug that day and then the race was on to the finish line which may have been at least a mile away.
