REMARKS:

This yacht is believed to be the last of eight that were built by McQueen Boat Works of B.C., Canada to this contemporary Ed Monk design.  The design features a large flybridge with boat deck and davit, a raised pilothouse, full beam galley, large salon, covered aft deck, built-in boarding stairs, a walk-though engine room, and four staterooms. 

The  hull is constructed of Cedar & Mahogany planking on closely spaced steam bent Oak frames set with numerous stringers, bulkheads, and beams that allow elegant curves in the bow sections that bring a raked stem to a very fine entry at the waterline.  The seams of the Cedar planking above the waterline are wood splined to allow smooth fairing for a nearly flawless surface.

The superbly balanced and crafted wood construction of the hull is carried throughout the deckhouse structures, interior bulkheads, and the extensive array of cabinets, counters, and built-in casework.  The elegant contemporary design combined with superior construction has produced a fine yacht with an easily driven hull that runs on a naturally even trim with a kindly sea motion.  These factors provide for an exceptional fuel economy while running at a good turn of speed, and a surprising 10 gallons per hour while running at 10 knots. 

 

In addition to having all maintenance items professionally addressed, over the past year the owner has invested a considerable sum in recent equipment upgrades and additions. 

 

Over the past two years the yacht has successfully completed cruises from Seattle to Alaska, Alaska to San Diego, San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, and Cabo San Lucas to San Diego and Seattle.  The owner has completed his cruises with this yacht and is  ready to move on to other adventures.  His decision to sell is the next owner’s very good fortune for it is a true rarity to find a yacht in this size and price range that is as comfortable and good looking, as fuel efficient, or to have such a great floor plan, and to be in excellent condition.

McQueen Boat Works has a long and admired history of building fine yachts.  A very high level of carpentry talent is found to have been applied throughout the construction of this yacht's hull, superstructure, decking and the wide array of built-in cabinets, doors, counters, drawers, window frames, and various other custom built-in casework.  A close look throughout, from bilges to vanity cabinets display the work of craftsmen at the top of their profession. 

If you are looking for a fine yacht that has always known pride of ownership and the best of care, that is reasonably priced, and can be safely handled by a family of three or a couple with a deckhand, look no further your search is over.
