We purchased Aeolus II from Mr. Hemmerling several years ago. She has since undergone a thorough renovation and refinishing and resides in northern Michigan.

Published news with photo in Yachting June 1953 tells that the boat was built already 1953.
5.5 KC-14 "Aeolus II"

by Toby Hemmerling, 26-03-2009
I bought KC-14 in a very dilapidated state in Missisauga in 1988.
Along with the boat came an original wooden boom and a set of sails all with the Olympic seal and I was told she sailed under a Swedish registration and won gold. Other than the olympic seal I have no evidence to verify this claim.
She was extensively refurbished (including all new rigging and a completely new deck) and sailed as an RCYC boat out of Toronto. After moving to Colorado I kept her in storage for several years and eventually sold her to a new owner in Massachusetts.
