Miss Canada III 's 24½ ft hull integrated a double concave unevenly spaced set of steps on its bottom (later dubbed "keel knuckle" steps.)  This feature gave it exceptional directional and turning stability even in rough water. The design also resulted in a low specific drag coefficient on the wetted surface giving it an optimum running attitude.  Her engine was a Miller V-12, 1,000 HP.

Miss Canada III  won the President’s Cup in 1939.   After this race Miss Canada III was given a bigger shaft.  She went on to win the President's Cup that year and was also the High Point champion along with a host of other victories, including the Canadian National Championships.  She also won the National Sweepstakes silver cup in 1947 and 1948 and held a Gold Cup straight away record at 122 mph.

Miss Canada III was owned and piloted by William J. Morgan.  Morgan later donated her to the Marine Museum at Clayton, New York, where it is on exhibit today.
