| The Miss Canada IV was designed by Douglas Van Patten, who was responsible for the Miss Canada III and who had worked for the Wilsons at the latter's Greavette Boats Ltd. Van Patten utilized the keel-knuckle form of stop boat design, which employs three major lifting surfaces with differential spacing of the steps. |
| Miss Canada IV story was the fact that a special waiver was received from the trustees of the Harmsworth Trophy to allow the IV to compete for this oldest of motor boat racing prizes. |
