An overnight fire has destroyed a landmark central Okanagan sailboat and sign. I m sure a lot of people will feel we lost an icon in the valley here, said Lake County Fire Chief Steve Windsor.
The 120-year-old landlocked sailboat has stood by Highway 97 for almost 40 years, used as a sign for the nearby Holiday Park Resort, but more familiar to residents as an unofficial roadside welcome to Lake Country.

The old blue sailboat, used for advertising for Holiday Park Resort along Highway 97 at Commonwealth Road through Lake Country, was destroyed early this morning, April 1. Lake Country fire chief Steve Windsor said the boat was fully involved by the time firefighters arrived shortly after 1:30 a.m. There were two Lake Country fire engines and a tender truck on scene, and the Kelowna Fire Department also supplied an engine and another tender as there is no water supply in that area, he said.
