About Clarion Boats of Muskoka

Clarion Boats of Muskoka is owned and operated by Paul Crammond. Locally known best as a successful realtor with Chestnut Park Real Estate, Paul has decades of personal history in Muskoka, as a cottager on Lake Rosseau with his family since 1971. During those formative years, Paul was constantly exposed to life on the water and the boating world of Muskoka. He then went on to own antique wooden boats in his adult years and at various times has owned companies importing boats into Muskoka, and building to order classic-look fibreglass boats trimmed in mahogany. Working in a design and construction consulting capacity with Paul is the original founder of Clarion Boats, Dwight Boyd. With his wife, Kerstin, Dwight began Clarion Boats in the mid-1980s. After restoring award-winning antique boats such as Ditchburns and Greavettes, Dwight expanded his efforts to include the building of new wooden boats. Dwight Boyd has semi-retired and has sold the Clarion Boats name, intellectual property and designs to Paul Crammond. Dwight remains very much involved with Clarions’ future as a design and construction consultant. All wooden boat models sold by Clarion Boats of Muskoka are the design work of Midland marine architect, Steve Killing. Steve has twice designed for the Canadian team in the America’s Cup sailing competition, and was a designer on the renowned Canada One yacht that competed in the 1983 Louis Vuitton Cup. Clarion Boats of Muskoka is pleased to announce that Paul Brackley, of Brackley Boats in Gravenhurst, is our designated boatbuilder. With 30 years as an experienced boatbuilder, Brackley has restored many famous and award-winning Muskoka boats–including the Q.M., The Jolly Roger, Flying Lady, and more. Paul Brackley and his team pride themselves on building high quality boats with the finest materials. This team of Dwight Boyd, Paul Brackley, Steve Killing, and Paul Crammond represents decades of expertise in the Canadian wooden boating realm.
