A lot depends on what you mean by "historic boat pairs". If you mean boats
that were actually paired up at some time in their working past, I'm not at
all sure that's true of President and Kildare. You can add Aldgate and
Angel to the list - they were built as a pair but only worked together for
a very short time but are now reunited under the ownership of Paul & Lin
Ayres. The pairing of boats in the GUCCCo fleet was always changing. Also
Cyprus & Cedar.
If you simply mean "historic boats that are together as a pair nowadays" you
can add Indus & Pictor, Jackal & Hereford, Owl & Hampton just for starters.
