What does a $10 million wooden yacht look like?? ThisYachtmaster Inc is proud to present to you this Unique and Incredible 1 OF 1 YACHTTHATS RIGHT IF YOU WANT A YACHT THAT NOONE ELSE IN THE WORLD HAS THEN YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! GET IT BEFORE ITS GONE!M/Y Miss OSB When Vision Becomes Vessel While strolling through a local marina not long ago I came across a yacht that stopped me in my tracks It was Miss OSB Without question she was the most stunning vessel on the dock From over 30 feet away she looked like a floating masterpiece rich elegant and absolutely flawless But as I stepped closer the truth was even more astonishing the hull was constructed of fiberglass but she was built mostly from OSB (Oriented Strand Board) finished to a mirror-like gloss I stood there speechless — Unknown author This story begins with a visionary Canadian lumber executive determined to prove the world wrong His product—OSB—was known in the homebuilding industry as a low-cost plywood alternative often criticized for swelling when exposed to moisture The skeptics were loud So he did something bold: he built a yacht out of it Not just any yacht—a no-expense-spared masterpiece built to showcase the potential of OSB in the most unlikely and ambitious way imaginable In 2007 Peter Grant founder of Grant Forest Products commissioned legendary boatbuilder Hugh Saint—a revered name in handcrafted wooden yachts—to build a custom 65-foot commuter cruiser This would be the crown jewel of a planned $100 million dollar lakefront estate in Northern Canada But this wasnt ordinary OSB Over $3 million was invested in R D developing a proprietary method to treat and finish the material using West System Epoxy Resin transforming structural board into a high-gloss marine-grade surface that defies belief The result: Miss OSB A one-of-a-kind luxury yacht powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT 12-cylinder engines pushing a combined 3300 HP to twin Doen water jet drives Shes fast—clocked at 55 mph—but elegant smooth and barely touched with only 86 engine hours to date Construction cost? $10 million Usage? As close as it gets to none! Then came 2008 The housing market collapsed Grants core business—OSB sheathing—tanked The estate was never completed With nowhere to dock her Miss OSB was pulled from the water in 2010 and placed in climate-controlled storage where she has remained perfectly preserved for the past 14 years Now the story begins a new chapter Both the abandoned estate and the 2009 Hugh Saint 65 commuter Miss OSB have been purchased by a Texas entrepreneur who plans to film a docuseries titled Mansion Impossible As part of the shows concept the new owner of Miss OSB must agree to feature the yacht in at least one episode After all this boat inspired the mansion—its the soul of the propertys origin story The vessel will be sold as-is with full transparency and a complete survey available to qualified buyers Miss OSB isnt just a yacht Shes a statement—a floating sculpture born of ambition risk and uncompromising craftsmanship She is a legacy in motion And now for the right buyer she represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of Canadian boatbuilding history
