Historical:
Owners comments – “Taurus is the smallest of the series of designs Bruce King released that follow the look of Herreshoffs Ticonderoga. The larger boats are well known, Whitehawk, Whitefin. She has the same cold molded construction, level of outfit and overall quality. Built in Kenora Ontario in the early 80’s, she still sails her original home of Lake of the Woods and docks at the same harbour she was built at.”
Jim Mcclelland, later built a sister to Taurus called Lancashire Rose which Tad Robert Yacht Design drew a modified interior for.
