REMARKS:
With significant influence by the *Ted Geary
design group, this fantail luxury yacht was designed for the
author Stewart Edward White by the Lee and Brinton Naval
Architectural firm of San Francisco and Seattle.. Built in 1930
by the Lake Washington Ship Yard in Houghton, WA and equipped
for long range cruising with a party of eight aboard, the main
deckhouse features separate cabin spaces for the wheelhouse,
dining salon, galley, and a cozy main salon with a wood burning
fireplace. Covered port and starboard promenade decks and an aft
deck lounge at the fantail provide excellent walk-about space
and an ideal setting for alfresco dining and evening cocktails.
Below decks a full beam master stateroom aft and three guest
cabins forward provide comfortable voyaging accommodation for
eight. A full beam engine room is amidships with built-in
cabinets, a work bench and ample elbow space for onboard
projects, houses a huge and highly dependable 380 HP Caterpillar
D-353 TA 6-cylinder 4-cycle diesel engine and several Gensets.
The upper deck features a complete helm station with a large
observation / sunning settee with a Bimini top that is forward
of an extended boat deck area with davit, an electric windlass,
a tender, and ample deck storage space.
A rare embodiment of yachtings original allure, this classic
fantail is of the era when American craftsman fashioned select
timbers into yachts of custom designs that were built to serve a
family from one generation to the next. Over the decades Creole
has been proven by numerous voyages from the U.S. to Hawaii, the
South Pacific, the Caribbean and a number of Atlantic crossings,
and two years ago received significant upgrades and interior
refitting. The refit work included a major electrical overhaul
and upgrade, new plumbing for the domestic water system, three
new Head Hunter heads, new GE galley propane stove and
microwave, new mattresses and bedding, new drapes and carpet.
Reflected by a total of $270,000 in reductions to the
asking price since listed, the exterior of this stately yacht
needs refinishing and a few feet of deck planking on the port
side needs to be addressed, and the cap rail near the starboard
bow needs to be renewed. However this classic voyager is
certainly well worth the attention required to restore her
traditional good looks, and the generous reduction in the asking
price makes the proposition quite practical.
