DUNNVILLE—Dunnville resident David Janzen has accomplished quite a remarkable feat, crafting a 70-foot-long iceboat using largely donated supplies and breaking the Guiness World Record for largest boat in the process.

Janzen recalled his early days, growing up in the 1960s and helping his old neighbour work on his boat: “He taught me how to sail and a couple years later I bought my first boat, a 26-foot Thunderbird keelboat.”
