Thanks Rapier, I was just about to share it myself but you beat me to it
It would be interesting to see in any more history surfaces about this boat!

Re: Blog post - Jazz 1912 Hydroplane
I was recently advised that Vauxhall produced 12 of the A10 4cyl 4ltr engines, but all were destined to be installed in a boat called Silver Heals, with 6 engines running clockwise and 6 counter clockwise.
The crankcase of the A10 forming the basis of the engine of the Prince Henry Vauxhall.
Has anyone any information on Silver Heals?
One assumes that the boat wasn’t a success if the engines landed up in the RMYC hydroplanes!
