June 16-17, 2018 Show Hours 10:00-4:00

This Vintage Motoryacht Show is produced by the Classic Yacht Association. The CYA was organized in 1969 to promote and encourage the preservation, restoration and maintenance of fine old power-driven craft. Membership information is available at the gangway. Visit our website at classicyacht.org

The following vessels are on display today. A “People’s Choice” ballot is available with this program, and we invite you to vote for your favorite yacht by dropping off your ballot in the container at the gangway on your way out.

If the “Welcome Aboard” sign is posted, vessels may be boarded with the owner’s permission. Please wear soft-soled shoes. Boarding vessels is done at own risk.

This year’s Marque Class celebrates vessels built by the Blanchard Boat Company, which crafted hundreds of wooden boats on Seattle’s Lake Union. Look for these unique classics on Docks A and B.

* * * * * ADAGIO Adagio was built in New York using Richardson’s WWII plywood technology, touted as the “Cruiser of Tomorrow”, and the hull was designed by Sparkman and Stephens in a 1943 contest. She was shipped to Puget Sound, which may account for her longevity. The Twin Crusader engines were replaced with Gray Marines in 1965. Minor upgrades have been done to the interior and systems, but her basic Sedan Cruiser design is retained. Home Port is Decatur Island where the owner’s cabin is, and her covered moorage in Portage Bay helps keep her preserved..

ALOHA A 40’ 1962 Owens Tahitian, Aloha was sold new in Seattle, mooring at the Seattle Yacht Club for 39 years, 1962- 2001. During that time, the boat was known as the Concrete Queen. In 2001, new owners named her the Jannika. Extensive restoration took place 2001-2003. The interior was gutted and all wood replaced with Honduran mahogany and raw teak. A custom stainless steel bow hatch and stainless steel mast were installed. The boat has twin Monel 60 gallon fuel tanks. Twin Chris Craft 350Q V8 engines were installed in 1970, replacing Owens Flagship V8’s.

APRIL ANN Designed in 1949 by Ed Monk Sr. for Ed Reinell (of Reinell Boats), the first build occurred in 1951 as the Nancy K. Nancy K is still around as the Honey Bee and is on display here this weekend as a member of the CYA. The second and only other build to this plan is April Ann built in 1953, in Tacoma at Cummings Boat Co. (where Shenanigan's Restaurant is now) for a Mr. August Seymore. Except for different engines (Chrysler Imperials originally), the canvas and enlarged swim step, the boat is original. We have owned her for 25 years. She is homeported at the Bremerton Yacht Club.

ASTELLE Astelle’s keel was laid in Vancouver, BC in 1938, though her launch was delayed until 1942 due to WWII. Originally named Double J, she was commissioned by J.J. Astell and designed by Stan Hope. She is constructed of Yellow cedar planking on oak frames with a mahogany house. Astelle’s original Chrysler Crown-6 was replaced with a 65 HP Perkins diesel in 2003. She cruises at 6 knots with a maximum speed of 9.4 knots. Her portholes date from 1919, being salvaged from HMCS Vancouver, a Canadian (ex-British) destroyer. Astelle’s sister ship, Faranda, is still sailing out of Vancouver, B.C.

BACCHUS While Bacchus is not a wood classic like the other beautiful boats here, she has quite a bit of wood on her decks and trim. In fact, the owner has accused other owners of wood boats in his marina of removing wood from their boat and gluing it to Bacchus so her owner will varnish it for them, then securing it back on their own boat. Seriously, Bacchus is a 1979 trawler that has cruised all the waters of Puget Sound and traveled to Alaska numerous times.

BARNACLE *MARQUE CLASS* Barnacle (www.barnacle1932.com) was designed by William Atkin, who published the plans in Motor Boating Magazine in 1929. The boat was built at the Blanchard Boat Company on a modified design by Ed Monk Sr. Launching took place on January 29, 1932. Barnacle was built for Joe Patton, a well-known marine engine dealer in Seattle. He and N. J. Blanchard worked together building the boat.

CAPELLA Capella was built as a long range cruising yacht for a family of 4 and crew of 2. Designed by Bill Garden and built by Vic Franck, she was launched in 1961. Constructed of Alaskan Yellow cedar over oak frames on 10 inch centers, she is powered by a 350 hp Caterpillar D-337T.

CAROLINE Caroline is a 1954 Chris-Craft Corvette, built in Michigan, and was sold originally at Bryant’s Marina in Seattle. She was hull number 7 out of 50 built, and has been owned by her current caretakers for 22 years.

CINNAMON GIRL Delivered new to Palm Beach Chris Craft in West Palm Beach, Florida in 1951, Cinnamon Girl was originally named Pri Mer Go after the owner’s three daughters. She made her way to Seattle in the fifties or sixties, and was repowered by Doc Freeman's with twin OMC 305 V8 engines in 1977. Other former names include Vivace, Jolly Six and Josey II. Current owners purchased her in 1999 and repowered again in 2001, along with much refastening and main system upgrades.

COMPADRE Compadre is a 43-foot bridge-deck cruiser built in 1929. She is one of three yachts built to this basic design by Stephens Brothers in Stockton, California. Her hull is Port Orford cedar on White oak frames, and her house is solid Burmese teak. She was originally powered by twin 6-cylinder Lathrop Mystic gasoline engines and was recently repowered with twin 80hp Yanmar diesels. Her interior layout and cabinetry are nearly all original. She was built for Mr. Leland Adams of San Francisco, a vice-president of Leslie Salt Co. Compadre is her original name.

DAWN TREADER Dawn Treader was delivered to Seattle in June of 1956. Current caretakers are the 5th owners, for the second longest length of time which is now 15 years. She continues to be well cruised and well loved.

EL MISTICO El Mistico was on the leading edge of technology when she was built in Ballard in 1927. According to an article in Power Boat Magazine, “The application of the low-powered oil engine to the propulsion of medium sized yachts and workboats is a comparatively new thing.”

ENDEAVOR Endeavor is a 42', 1963 Matthews Stock Cruiser built in Port Clinton, Ohio. Current owner is its third. It was purchased by the second owner and trucked out to Tacoma Yacht Club, where it has been in the same boat house since 1978. In 1980 it was re-powered with twin 440 Chrysler, 330 horse power engines. The boat resided in the boat house at TYC for nearly 10 years unused prior to current owner’s purchase in 2009. The house and interior are mostly original. Although most vessels are commonly referred to as “Her,” this boat is not a "She"!

EVENING STAR Launched April 2, 1938, Evening Star’s owners have included Milt and Cynthia Henderson, Portland, 1938-1969, Heine and Peggy Dole, Gig Harbor, 1969-2000, and Tom and Ben Dyer (son and grandson of the builder), Seattle, 2000 – present. Evening Star was built as a sturdy cruising yacht, and now has cruised over 150,000 nautical miles. The Doles made only two substantive changes: addition of the flying bridge, and installation of a dry exhaust stack. They also played an important role in introducing the white Spirit bears of British Columbia to the environmental community. Evening Star has been continually operated and maintained, and has never required restoration.

FANDANGO Fandango was delivered to Bryant Marine in 1947 for an officer at Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club who named it Freelancer. Current owner’s cousin's husband recognized it as a boat he was a guest on several times. When owner acquired her, he saw she had an extra 100 gallon fuel tank in the stern bench for traveling to Alaska, and noticed first thing that she turned to port because the keel was warped. An expert shipwright explained that it was a “Monday boat,” and when it was uprighted they had not gone an extra half turn and back. Current owner says, “Heck, I had the keel built up so it is little fat at midship. Come aboard and hear more of the story.”

FAUN *MARQUE CLASS* Faun is a 36’ Blanchard Standardized Cruiser, launched in June, 1926 by the N.J. Blanchard Boat Company for W.N. Winter of Medina, Washington. Her designer is Leigh H. Coolidge. Her 1926 purchase price was $6000. She is one of 25 Standardized Cruisers built by Blanchard. She is powered by a 1947 Chrysler Crown gas engine, and cruises at 8.5 knots. Her hull is cedar, her frames oak and her brightwork is teak. She still has her original Neptune cast iron stove. Her planks, frames & ribs were replaced in 2013-14. She was awarded Best Classic Power Under 40 Ft at Seattle’s Opening Day in 2018; Best Overall Power at the Victoria Classic Boat Festival in 2014; and Best Dinghy in 2015.

FELLOWSHIP Fellowship started life in 1955, as a Canadian military vessel named Vixen. The vessel was used for training Naval Officers and for rescue service in BC. The vessel was subsequently purchased by a Mr. Jensen and was remodeled into a comfortable yacht and renamed Fellowship. The current owners had been looking for a boat and when they saw the name, she became theirs. After purchasing in the fall of 2004, they discovered it was inconvenient to have to go outside to get to the galley or the main stateroom. They decided to remodel, thinking it would only take 6 months to a year. FIVE or SIX YEARS later they moved in and became full time liveaboards and they love it.

FREYA Built to be strong, efficient and seaworthy, Freya has cruised Puget Sound and the Inside Passage since 1940. An Alaska veteran, (11 times) she has provided the families that loved her with adventures, life time experiences, scarred knuckles, and pride. Freya has been part of the current owners’ family for 27 years with many more to come.

HESITATION II Hesitation II was built the last year the Smith Family owned the Chris-Craft Company. She was owned first by Hilton Hotels. In 1969 she was sold to a small hotel chain in Florida. In 1972 she was bought by an Everett man and shipped to Vancouver. Current owners purchased her in 1976.

HONEY BEE Honey Bee was built in 1951 as a unique vessel from an Ed Monk design at the Marysvile Wa. Reinell facility for the use of the Reinell family.. She was converted to twin diesel power in 1978. Various upgrades have been added to date.

KING GUSTAV A 1952 Ed Monk design, King Gustav was built by Jensen Boat Works on Portage Bay in Seattle. She was built for and owned by Tony Jensen himself for many years, cruising under the name Tony Boy II.

LINMAR M/Y Linmar was built in 1933 to offer private, luxury cruising, steaming the next 73 years along both coasts of North America, through the Panama Canal, and to Alaska. In February 2006 a fire ravaged Linmar, destroying the entire hold deck and house, crippling her structurally and leaving her a blackened void. Linmar was deemed a total loss. Current owner purchased the charred wreckage and set forth on a complete overhaul and restoration. The work involved re- powering, the replacement of all onboard systems, a full cosmetic overhaul, and substantial new construction. Linmar now offers private, luxury charters and dockside accommodations.

MALIBU *MARQUE CLASS* Malibu is a classic 100-foot fantail motor yacht designed by Ted Geary. She was built by Blanchard Boat Co. in 1926 for the owners of "Rancho Malibu", then a remote ranch on the California Coast, but now the site of Malibu, California. Her third owner developed a posh resort at Princess Louisa Inlet, BC (Canada). Now a Christian Youth camp, Malibu Camp, as well as Malibu Rapids, are named after the boat. Malibu is now owned by the Windermere Services Company (Parent company of Windermere Real Estate), and serves as the founding owner's private yacht and for various company and charity events. (The exterior decks only will be open for public tours. No food or drinks please, and please remove shoes.)

MARANEE Built by the legendary Chris-Craft Corporation, Maranee was launched in Algonac, Michigan in 1940. After serving as the flagship of the Vermilion Yacht Club in Ohio in 1946, she cruised the Great Lakes extensively, visiting Georgian Bay, the Erie Canal and the St. Lawrence Seaway. In 1959, Maranee began a new life on the west coast when she was shipped to Seattle by rail. She is still powered by her original twin Hercules six cylinder gas engines.

MARIAN II The Marian II was built at Lake Union Drydock Company in 1928. She was designed by Otis Cutting. Her construction is oak frames and Alaskan Yellow cedar planking. She was re-powered with an Isuzu diesel engine and completely refurbished in 1999-2001 by Tim Ryan of CSR Marine. Marian II was owned for 50 years by CYA founder Herb Cleaver, and was the first flagship of the CYA PNW Fleet. She was the first boat to start the tradition of boating to UW football games. In the early years when there was no dock they would just beach her and hop off. Current owner recently replaced her bottom planks and keel, and replaced 7 sets of frames.

MIRACLE Miracle is a 1928 Vic Franck Sea Queen. Current owners purchased this boat in 1993 with the intent to rebuild the boat to her former glory. The boat had been on the hard since 1984 and the weather had taken its toll. Over eighteen years she has had new frames, floor timbers, engine stringers, planks, decks, cabin, house, interior, all systems and has been re-powered.

MITLITE Mitlite was launched originally as Thea Foss, the corporate yacht of the Foss Tugboat Company in 1933. She was conscripted by the U.S. Coast Guard and patrolled the Bremerton Naval Yard for the duration of World War II. Afterwards she was returned to the Foss Corporation. In 1949 Foss acquired a large fantail yacht named Infanta which replaced this vessel as the corporate flagship, earning the name Thea Foss. For the next four years there were two vessels bearing Thea’s name, and this being the smaller of the two began to be referred to as “the little one” or “Mit Lité” in Norwegian. The name was officially changed in 1953, with the vessel’s change in ownership.

ORBA Orba is a traditional 1927 Lake Union Dreamboat. Built in 1927 by the Lake Union Dry Dock Company, the Orba was named by her first owner, Kelly Price, who had speculated profitably in the Oregon Basin Company. Her second owner, Professor B.T. McMinn, cruised all throughout the waters of the Northwest aboard her for 33 years. The many logbooks, still on board, chronicle her numerous voyages. The current owners purchased her in 1971.

PATAMAR This bridge deck cruiser was home-built by a Boeing engineer in Wallingford. She is cedar over oak frames with a teak cabin.

RED JACKET *MARQUE CLASS* Built for Seattleite Fred Baxter on Lake Union in the Blanchard Boat Yard. Ted Geary, an expert sailor, designed Red Jacket to be sleek & fast. She has sailed the oceans but has spent the last 87 years sailing the Salish Sea. At 98 years old she is still one of the most beautiful & seaworthy yachts in North America.

REVERIE Reverie was built in 1952 at the Chris-Craft factory in Algonac, Michigan. In 1992 Dan Enloe of Portland, Oregon purchased the boat. In 2000 he did a major overhaul including new engines, and christened the boat Cruise Missile. Current owners purchased the boat in August, 2013. They have completed projects including interior upgrades, electrical system, sanitation overhaul and extensive bright work on flybridge, aft cockpit and transom. Their goal is to restore her to her original splendor. They rechristened the boat Reverie in 2014.

RIPTIDE Featured at the 1939 New York Boat Show, Riptide was purchased there by the famous hotelier Howard Johnson. She later relocated to Buffalo and then Detroit. The yacht moved to Lake Mead when owned by mobster Moe Dalitz, ending up eventually in Los Angeles where she was the "star" of the TV show RIPTIDE. Extensive restoration has been done by current owners. Relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 2010, she has served the Classic Yacht Association as SC Fleet Flagship, PNW Fleet Flagship and CYA Flagship.

SCANDALON Scandalon is a Double Cabin Fly Bridge cruiser that was restored by the current owners beginning in 1993. The Chrysler gas engines were put in in 1965 and have almost 5,000 hours on them with only periodic maintenance performed. The boat has been kept as original as possible with only functional upgrades.

SEVEN BELLS Seven Bells went through at least twelve owners before being purchased by current owner in August, 1998. The boat's first owner, R.B. MacBride, sold Seven Bells in 1931 after just two years. The boat changed hands several more times before being purchased by the United States War Shipping Administration on July 11, 1942. As a federally-owned boat, Seven Bells likely spent the remainder of World War II as a patrol boat keeping an eye on San Francisco Bay and California coastal waters. The boat was returned to private hands after the end of the war, and then had at least six more owners through the 1990's.

SONATA Sonata is a 52’ Chris-Craft built in Pompano Beach, Florida in 1963. She was the 18 th of 23 hulls built that year. Jerry Bryant’s Seattle Chris-Craft Dealership on Boat Street in Seattle sold her new to Bill Blume, a member of one of Seattle’s iconic auto dealership families who had commissioned her from the Chris-Craft factory. Bill Blume named her Squatsie from a family story about his grandmother. There have been three previous owners, who named the boat Salt Chuck, Handy I, and Serious Delirium. Current owners renamed her Sonata to keep the musical theme from their last two wooden boats. She is a Coast Guard documented vessel.

ST. BRENDAN A 1947 Mathews 40’ Sedan Cruiser, St. Brendan was built in Port Clinton, Ohio. A major restoration around 2004 was accomplished by previous owners, and lots of work has been done by current owner, including rebuilt transom and side decks, and a new port engine. This vessel has been in Wooden Boat festivals numerous times in Port Townsend and at South Lake Union.

STELLA MARIS Built in Baltimore, Stella Maris was sold in San Rafael, CA to a San Francisco police officer, sold again to a boat broker in 1980, sold again to an apple farmer from Napa County, then sold to current owner in 1984. Full restoration of the boat over the ensuing decades has included new engines, transom, windshields, electrical, upholstery, plumbing, deck, chrome and stainless.

SUELLEN Louis A. Hascall was a master carpenter employed at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and at the Blanchard Boat Company until 1952. Suellen's designer, Ed Monk, Sr., was a talented Northwest naval architect. This boat design was shown in the Pacific Motor Boat magazine, April, 1940. Hascall built two boats for his own use - this boat was built during the 1940's in his Seattle backyard. Suellen has had ten owners during her 65 year history. A copy of the hardbound book of ownership history was recently given to the CYA.

SWIETENIA Swietenia (the name is the genus of Mahogany) was shipped in August of 1941 to Motor Boat Marina (later Bryant’s) in Seattle. She is powered by a vintage Hercules engine, and has won numerous awards. She has recently been purchased by her new long-term curators.

TABU Built in 1940 to be the personal boat for Bernard Smith, then VP of Chris Craft and son of Christopher Smith, the founder of Chris-Craft. Bernard never took delivery - instead she went to a dealer in Spokane. The boat was launched in an inland lake to keep it from being used in the war effort and was named Tabu due to war era fuel rationing. According to Bernard's son, who was aboard a couple of years ago, it was also the first Chris-Craft to have a 110V AC system on board.

Hull material is mahogany, beam is 14' 9", LOA is 55’ 6” and draft is 3' 10". Tahoe is powered by twin Detroit Diesels and has a cruising speed of 12 knots. Tahoe (Washoe word meaning “big water”) has been a resident of Portage Bay since early days in Portland. Guests are comfortably accommodated in three staterooms and three heads and there is ample deck space for entertaining. A fine example of mid-century design and Chris Craft classic craftsmanship, Tahoe has always been meticulously cared for and maintained.

THELONIUS Thelonius was custom designed and built in 1953 for a doctor who wanted a 'traditional-style' boat, so, while she looks '1920's', she has some features of a somewhat newer boat. Such features include greater headroom and visibility, v-drive engine in the rear, and glued hull seams rather than caulked.

TURNING POINT Turning Point is a Lake Union Dream Boat built in 1928 at the Lake Union Dry Dock (LUDD) Company in Seattle, Washington. The boat was designed by Otis Cutting. The LUDD Dream Boat production was stopped as a result of the Great Depression in 1930. Overall length is 42 feet, with 11.5 feet beam, and a draw of 3 feet. The original configuration accommodated eight passenger berths. One forward stateroom has built-in berths and drawers underneath. The salon has double berths on each side. Originally, there was a single berth above these double berths.

WILLIWAW Built in Algonac, Michigan as a custom yacht for Exide Battery, Williwaw was shipped to the west coast in 1962 and has had two major owners since. She is constructed of African mahogany over oak frames. The boat has been repowered twice (so far).

YONDER Yonder was built in 1928 at the Hoffar-Beeching Shipyards of Vancouver, B.C. which was later purchased by Boeing. During construction, Yonder was used to test Boeing engines. Originally christened Northern Light, she was renamed Yonder in 1951. Through the years she was owned and cared for by a number of Canadian families. In 1999, the current owners brought her to Port Ludlow, WA. Yonder was re-powered, bringing her back to her original 200 hp. In addition, all structural integrity is sound and systems are up to date making her a reliable, seaworthy vessel.

ZANZIBAR Zanzibar was built in 1957 by the Stephens Brothers yard in Stockton, California. Originally the Gaylee, she was commissioned for Portland marine dealer John Trullinger at a cost of $70,000, equivalent to three custom homes at the time. Mrs. Trullinger insisted that the galley be placed up in the midships area, creating a unique Quad Cabin design. The house and decks are Burmese Teak. Her sweeping lines follow a 1947 design by Dick Stephens. She has dual helm stations and is powered by a pair of Crusader 8.1 liter Vortec gas engines producing 770 total horsepower. Cruising speed is 13 knots with a top speed of 19 knots.
