Commodore’s Column (concludes): Boating — COVID-19 Style

Pleasant Harbor provides its guests with plenty of room for social distancing and we feel very comfortable here. Boaters are diligent wearing masks on the dock and enjoying very small gatherings of 6 or less on their boats. It appears others feel more comfortable alone on their boats, but are still able to socialize with the boats in slips next to them and passersby on the dock, while maintaining distance. Members, I think we can do this and be safe with a few creative safety adjustments. We are looking forward to planning cruises and being back on the water as a club in 2021; but, it remains questionable about indoor clubhouse events for the time being. Fleet Captain Elizabeth Eisenhardt will be conducting a Cruise Planning meeting on October 10th via ZOOM. I encourage everyone to attend virtually. We’d like to know where YOU would like to cruise in 2021. Start thinking about it now and watch for more information from Elizabeth on the details and instructions on how to sign up to attend. We also plan to give ZOOM a try for the September 8th General Meeting. ZOOM is easy to use and free. You can attend via your smartphone, laptop, desktop or tablet. There is nothing to download on your end, just click on the link in your invitation from me, pour yourself a beverage, and raise a toast to your PTYC friends, in the safety of your own home. This first ZOOM meeting will be a test and we will perfect it as we go. September is the time we select a Nominating Committee, looking ahead to elect officers for 2021. Cindy Walsh has volunteered to head up this Committee, again. If you would like to be on this committee, contact Cindy at 360-301-3050, or let us know at our September 8th General Meeting being held via ZOOM. More information regarding ZOOM is coming as September 8th nears. Stay tuned. We have been successfully conducting Board meetings via ZOOM since March. No, it’s not the same as being there in person, but won’t it be nice to see the smiling faces of your friends? We hope to see everyone on ZOOM, Tuesday, September 8th at 6:30pm. This will be a chance to give it a try before the October 10th planning meeting. You can contact anyone on the Board for help with ZOOM or should you want to give it a trial run, before September’s meeting. As your Commodore, no one will be happier than me to have our clubhouse events and cruises back to normal! It’s been a tough year for everyone. Stay safe and stay healthy.

LOL Page 6 Baggywrinkle September 2020 Our Maiden Voyage Aboard “Farfrumwurken ” Tim’s sister Nannette and her husband Buzz joined us on our first, week-long excursion aboard our 45’ Bayliner. We left Port Hadlock Marina, heading south around Whidbey Island, anchoring out there, then continued through the Channel along La Conner, stopping at Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes for the night and then onto Snoring Bay at Sucia, in the San Juan Islands.

The first night, we anchored out at Langley and the dinghy motor died on the way to the dock. Four of us in the dinghy, an oar for two of us, and Tim trying to get the motor started, made for lots of laughs; but, 200 feet later, we tied up. The next adventure was the inverter going haywire when we plugged into power at Cap Sante. With a generator and solar panels, we decided to head on to Sucia. We had a great time there. We made our way home from Sucia and were about two thirds of the way across the Strait, when we lost rudder control! Tim, aka Captain Crabby (due to his skills at calling dungies into our pots) brought us in just fine with the twin engines! It was a bit trying at times, but Tim was amazing. His sister sang him a cheer when we docked. "We've got a captain! Yes we do, we've got a captain, how 'bout you?" She was spot on with that one, as Tim wasn't phased when he lost rudder control and just handled the boat with the twin screws. Tim did all the repairs. We ordered a new inverter and we worked together to find a hydraulic line that had come apart at a junction. It took one arm from the two of us to reconnect the line, but we got it done! Boat is repaired and ready for our trip down to Olympia! Send us luck! Alice Tibbals, aka Firstmate Crusty Volume 120, Issue 7 Baggywrinkle Page 7 West Sound—Another Hidden Treasure in the San Juans

If you are looking for a quiet, out of the way place in the San Juans, try West Sound on Orcas Island. Orcas Island Yacht Club reciprocal is a beautiful new dock that can take about four good sized boats, rafting is encouraged. Just sign up at the kiosk on the dock and enjoy two days free moorage. However, the yacht club bathroom is closed because of Covid.

West Sound Marina is just to the north and has 400 feet of guest moorage. Call for reservations. It has water, fuel, power, restrooms, showers, pump out and a well stocked marine store. The Bay is a good for anchoring. See the 2020 Waggoners for details or go to info.westsoundmarina.com or westsoundmarina.net. The Kingfish Inn restaurant is open for dinner by reservation and is very popular with the locals. The Chef was at Rosario and purchased the restaurant this year. The food and drink are excellent. If you are adventurous and need a two mile walk up and down hill, on a winding road, hike up to the Orcas Island Winery and taste their beverages. They have picnic tables and chairs and a selection of cheeses and goodies to buy with your tasting. Be careful walking on the narrow, winding island roads and step off, when vehicles approach. Deer Harbor is just around the corner and a short hop over to Sucia. The San Juans are busy so reservations are necessary at marinas. Enjoy and stay safe. Paul Happel & Sue McKay aboard MV Puffin

Page 8 Baggywrinkle September 2020 Jumping to the “Dark Side” By Dan and Linda Newland

It was on a beautiful trip to Desolation Sound several years ago on our custom carbon fiber racing sailboat, designed and built by Dan, that we realized that if we were to complete our bucket list by traveling up the Inside Passage to Alaska on our own boat, Pegasus XIV wasn’t the one to take us there. Built and launched in 1992, she had no built in water tanks and was stripped of most amenities below decks. She had raced round trip to Hawaii twice, once by me and once by Dan, done Mexico races, coastal California races and too many offshore San Francisco races to mention. She was totaled on a coastal delivery and Dan rebuilt her better than ever during the 27 year period we sailed her. She was still looking first class, but we weren’t….it was time to admit, although we dearly loved her, that we needed to move on to more amenities and less stress and strain on our aging bodies. We had certainly “been there and done that” with an exceptional sailing vessel that has no equal for racing performance or handling in her class. She was cutting edge technology in 1992 and still remains highly competitive.

We moved to the Pacific Northwest for many reasons, but one of the chief ones, was to be closer to Alaska for our cruising dreams. After finding out there was no real wind in the summer for sailing and most competitive racing was done in the shoulder seasons of Spring or Fall and cold and rain, that began early on to dampen our sailing ardor. It took awhile to come to terms with losing an old reliable friend to making the change to a powerboat. We began looking longingly at other people’s comfortable powerboats with warm inside steering with hot water and warm showers with enough fuel and water to go long distances. When we finally made the decision to put Pegasus on the market, we had not raised a sail in two years and were using her as a powerboat anyway—without the benefits.

Serendipitously, on a shorter cruise to Butchart Gardens we had stopped off in Sidney, BC harbor for one night and walking down the dock spied a beautifully kept Grand Banks 36 trawler. It reached out and grabbed us as we walked by. At first we didn’t even see the For Sale sign. It spoke to me more strongly than to Dan but we were both intrigued enough to ask the broker for a tour. We then met Robb Butler from Grand Yachts Inc. for the beginning of a long relationship. If we had not Tsusiat owned Pegasus at the time, we would have signed the papers then and there. Wisely, we did not want to own 2 boats. Luckily, we learned a lot by looking at many other GB’s before buying our boat. (Continues on Page 9)

In mid to late 2019 we looked at all Grand Banks on the market in the PNW and down even to the SF Bay Area. My cousin who lives on Salt Spring Island was invaluable in giving us sound advice and focusing us on the important aspects we should consider. He is a sailor but had built powerboats in BC in the 70’s and 80’s which is the vintage we were looking at. His memorable advice was and is, “Buy as new as you can afford, in the best possible condition; as no matter how good they look on the survey, you will be spending a lot more money on upgrades to a vintage vessel”.

During our search, we literally crawled through multiple Grand Banks and DeFevers and honed down the features we liked and didn’t like to compare them. The GB’s consistently appealed to us on many levels…construction, thoughtful layout, etc. We quickly learned that systems and engines were a whole new challenge on a powerboat versus a stripped out sailboat with a 18 HP inboard diesel. As we narrowed our searches down to GB’s we did in depth research on the GB owner’s websites to read in detail the common structural and other issues that were constantly discussed on owner’s forums. We became critical boat buyers with our checklist of tell tale signs of misuse, negligent maintenance, corrosion, wet core, poorly maintained teak decks, leaky windows, and rusted out fuel tanks etc in the older GB models.

Finally in August 2019 we got a call from Robb. He had a GB 42 (1978) not listed yet. He knew the owner and the boat and assured us she was sound, cosmetically beautiful and had twin engines in good condition with a half life left in them for the standard Lehman 120 HP twins used in the late 1970’s, early 1980’s. There was no recent survey but he said the owner, now retired, had been a diesel mechanic for the BC Ferry system and had taken good care of his own boat’s engines.

We immediately jumped on the MV Coho and went over to take a look and loved her. We made an offer which was accepted then had an oil sample test done which surprisingly did not come out squeaky clean. We went forward with the haul out and survey of both hull and engine which requires two separate surveyors. To make a long story short, one engine had already been replaced under 3500 hours which is not usual and the other now had to be either replaced or rebuilt. After due diligence on checking on pricing for replacement or rebuild, it would cost another $35,000 with no guaranteed timeline for completion. In October 2019, we were looking forward to having the boat ready for the Alaska trip in 2020 so we walked away. I (Linda) had also discovered in looking through the boat paperwork that she had been used in charter for a year or two by an owner previous to the current owner so that may explain the engine wear if the boat engines had been mistreated.

Since not much new was going on the market in winter, we cooled our heels for November and December and then received a call from Robb in January about a GB 36 coming on the market at the Vancouver Boat Show in early February. It was show worthy and would be displayed there the day after they listed it. He said it would sell immediately and if we wanted a shot at it, we should arrive at the opening of the show at the earliest possible time. We hot footed it up to Vancouver in snow and rain and already 20 minutes into the show, two other couples were walking her decks when we arrived. She was a 1989 Grand Banks 36 beauty, but, of course, we had been fooled before as we knew looks are only skin deep. Then we stepped inside of the cabin to 72 degree heat and fell in love with the forced air heating system as opposed to the 27 degrees and snow outside. We said later, that’s what sold us right there. Anyway, we were told there were two potential buyers flying into Vancouver that afternoon so we weren’t the only ones given the heads up on this boat coming on the market. In less than two hours we had signed the papers to buy her with, of course, the contingency that we get our deposit back if the surveys weren’t satisfactory. There were two despondent travelers who showed up late to the party only to find out she was off of the market. We found out that, at least in Canada, that once you sign the contract line and your offer is in the holding pattern of waiting to be accepted, competing higher offers will not be sent to the seller to be considered. We were very fortunate in several ways: 1. The boat had relatively few recommended fixes listed on each survey. Several were time consuming but not expensive with Dan doing the labor. 2. We beat the COVID border shutdown by taking delivery in Friday Harbor on February 24. (Contact us for more details on how easy it was to buy a boat in Canada and finalize the transaction in the US) 3. We already were paying on the empty 40’ slip at Boathaven that was used for the now departed Pegasus XIV so we went to the top of the list for a 50’ slip as a trade since the Port had more need of the 40’ slip. So there was no 4 year waiting period for us. 4. We kept the name “Tsusiat” (Suzy-At) because it is memorable as no one else will ever give their boat such an unusual name. It refers to a First Nation named Tsusiat Falls and Lake on Vancouver Island’s West Coast. 5. The boat previously had been owned by US citizens so she already had a US documentation number which was reinstated during the sales process. 6. We had three months of COVID quarantine to do the work we wanted done on the boat which helped us stay sane.

Here’s a partial list of the items we either added or upgraded this Spring: 1. Added a Garmin autopilot with remote (no previous one) 2. Added a 2800 watt inverter 3. Added an isolation transformer 4. Added AIS 5. Added a 165 amp Balmar smart alternator rather than a generator 6. Added a weather station with output to new B&G MFD 7. Added hard wired digital amp meter to monitor current drain

Our cruising expectations of course changed to limiting us to South Sound and the San Juan Islands Volume 120, Issue 7 Baggywrinkle Page 9 Jumping to the “Dark Side”

We eventually sold Pegasus XIV to a racer and his son in the SF Bay Area who knew the boat and her racing history and wins….a perfect match. If not for COVID 19, the new owner would have raced her to Hawaii this year in the Pacific Cup.

Meanwhile, we reconnected with Robb in Sidney and let him know we were seriously in the market for

a Grand Banks classic 36 or 42. Robb is the guru to go to for a Grand Banks on Vancouver Island or mainland as Grand Yachts Inc. sells GB’s and even resells GB’s they have previously sold and he has the pulse of any that come on the market in western Canada. We also had the occasion to meet Scott Blake from NW Explorations in Bellingham—the counterpart to Robb. Each knew we were ready to roll with cash in hand. Not unsurprisingly, there were many other buyers in 2019 ready to plunk down hard cash for that perfectly maintained Grand Banks.

Our cruising expectations, of course, changed to limiting us to South Sound and the San Juan Islands instead of the trip to Alaska but we have realized that it is HeadGalley for the better. On our several trips to the San Juan’s and a ten day trip to South Sound we continue to learn systems and appreciate the boat and make lists of just one more thing we want to put on the boat. By Salon next year, and, hopefully an open border, we will be more than ready to head North. (Contcludes on Page 12) Page 12 Baggywrinkle September 2020 Jumping to the “Dark Side”

Lessons learned and appreciated: 1. Powerboat ownership is different than sailboats. Sails are expensive but last awhile without a lot of maintenance. Bigger diesel engines take more constant love and care as there is no backup plan if something goes wrong. Our boat is a single engine diesel with a bow thruster. Buy plenty of towing insurance depending on how far you think you might need to be towed in your cruising plans. 2. Powerboats use the same instrumentation as sailboats but more of them and diverse enough to monitor more boat systems so buy good quality and adhere to the adage, “Buy first quality or pay second quality twice which will be more expensive.” 3. Older boats in very good condition will need constant vigilance because systems are in a later wearing out condition. Buy spares of replacement parts especially for all systems and the engine. On sailboats the auxiliary diesel serviced regularly rarely failed us…not so much wear and tear on it. 4. Learning the myriad of systems and how to maintain them on a powerboat is not even close to the simplicity of those on a sailboat unless the sailboat is highly sophisticated. For example, the size and care of big battery banks to run refrigeration, fresh water heads, radar, multiple antennas for all types of radios, GPS, and AIS.

Where the powerboat is a better quality of life over the sailboat we owned: 1. central heating vs none 2. 150 gallon water tank vs no built in fresh water tank 3. 300 gallon fuel tank vs 11 gallon fuel tank 4. battery bank to run interior and exterior lights at anchor 5. comfortable queen size bed vs sleeping bags on a hard surface 6. hot water showers vs bathing in the cockpit with water heated on the stove 7. refrigeration and freezer vs. ice chest when ice available 8. propane stove with oven vs. two burner gimbaled camp stove 9. fresh water heads in both cabins vs. standard smelly salt water head 10. high capacity inverter to run AC anytime vs. no AC, only DC 11. A bow thruster vs none 12. dinghy on an easy lift vs blow up and lash to foredeck or tow behind 13. electric windlass for real chain rode vs manpower for anchor retrieval 14. inside steering for poor weather vs steering with rain and wind in face 15. eat at real table on cushioned seats vs no table and hard bench seats

We really love our Tsusiat – shortened by us to Suzie. She’s a great boat. We will be happy to talk more about her and show her, when we move into a higher level of COVID phases.

We did have the opportunity to escape the pandemic craziness and cruise to the San Juan Islands. Jim and I loved our recent 3 weeks in the San Juan Islands. It's was a very different experience this year, but we found anchoring in these beautiful waters restored our spirits. We're so grateful to have had this opportunity!

Page 14 Baggywrinkle September 2020 South Sound PTYC Buddy Boating COVID Cruise

Our "2020 Covid Cruise" included 2 beautiful weeks of cruising, 8 harbor destinations, and at least 6 reciprocal nights of moorage. Aside from the bumpy start when we couldn't get moorage (or bagged ice) at the unexpectedly busy Port Ludlow Marina, our summer cruise could not have gone more smoothly. Tatsu (Val and Tom Thurston) joined Tyee (Jane and Michael Asbury) in buddy boating to south Puget Sound. Our destinations included Brownsville, Gig Harbor, Longbranch, Jarrell's Cove, Olympia, Tacoma, Eagle Harbor, and Kingston.

Following the advice of the Waggoner's video chats, we travelled with a Plan B in mind for each of our destinations. Only in Gig Harbor did we have to revert to Plan B when the Jerisich public dock was full. That was a fortuitous day as the two boats in the GHYC reciprocal were leaving just as we arrived. Neither of us had ever stayed at the head of Gig Harbor before but we discovered efficient public transportation, enjoyed dining at Il Lucano Ristorante Italiano and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast on the deck overlooking Gig Harbor at the Devoted Kiss Cafe.

Upon reaching Longbranch Community Marina on the Key Peninsula, the temperatures began to soar. Their usual freezer chest full of bagged ice had been depleted by all of the ice thirsty boaters. Out came our kayaks to explore the small inlets and we dined in the breeze of the covered party dock. An early morning dog walk allowed me to discover the cool wooded walking trails behind the Longbranch Improvement Clubhouse and pick some wild sweet pea blossoms found in abundance alongside the road.

Continuing our journey south we headed to Jarrell's Cove on Harstine Island hoping for a spot on the dock with electricity. Our luck held as the temperature continued to rise. The peak was 96 degrees (too hot!) and I was very thankful for Tatsu's air conditioning for dining in. Another kayak tour was in order to see purple martins, cormorants, and blue heron fishing the bay. The wooded park trails also provided a cool respite to the heat.

(Concludes on Page 9) Volume 120, Issue 7 Baggywrinkle Page 15 South Sound PTYC Buddy Boating COVID Cruise

After a week afloat, we decided to head to Olympia for some dining out and re-provisioning. We cruised the quiet waters of Pickering Passage to reach Budd Inlet. Tatsu snagged the last OYC reciprocal spot and learned another vessel was leaving mid- afternoon so Tyee pulled up to the Percival Landing dock and waited for the good folks to leave.

This gave us the perfect excuse to restock our groceries and dine at the newly reopened Olympia Oyster House. The waterfront was surprisingly quiet and the downtown core showed scars of vandalism and boarded buildings in the wake of recent violent "protests". Val and I did our best to support the businesses that were open, finding a bakery, chocolates, books and some summer attire. We also enjoyed dining at the Chelsea Farms Oyster Bar and look forward to the return of their full menu post-pandemic. After perusing the Friday Farmers Market and loading up on $1.00/bag ice at the OYC marina, it was time to move on to Tacoma with reservations at Dock Street Marina.

It was hard to believe that Dock Street was not full, even operating at 50% capacity. Sadly the wonderful museums were not open for business but the restaurants were and the Fish Peddler was our favored choice. Our next stop was Eagle Harbor at Winslow. The EHYC reciprocal was not available so Tatsu snagged a space on the new City Dock just past the ferry terminal facilities. By the time Tyee had arrived, another spot opened up and we were settled in for the night. This is a fun, and busy, city dock. It's a bargain at 50 cents a foot plus power and has lots of coming and going of boats using the dock for a quick shopping or dining visit. The City also rents kayaks and offers sailing lessons from this location. Thankfully the evenings were peaceful and we enjoyed a nice dinner at Doc's Marina Grill on Bainbridge Island just a short walk away.

Our final destination was Kingston where we discovered two reciprocal slips just waiting for us! In fact it was so good that we stayed an extra night and enjoyed many walks in the park and a dinner out at the Ale House with Mora Mora Ice Cream for dessert. Yummy! The Park and downtown are beautifully decked out with flowers but many of the retail stores have sadly gone out of business. In Kingston we said hello and goodbye to Jess and Mary Schefstrom and Dave and Lisa McCammon as they begin their buddy boating cruise around the sound. Happy cruising everyone! Jane Asbury

Recreational Boaters Association of Washington (RBAW) Report for September

What a Summer!

RBAW has been keeping track since May of the status of boating opportunities in Washington waters since there is no estimated time this year that the Canadian border may open to recreational boaters that are not considered essential businesses. Another great resource RBAW and boaters are depending upon is the constantly updated information on the Waggoner Cruising Guide website, www.waggonerguide.com. If you have missed it, they have been presenting a weekly Zoom webinar hosted by the NW Marine Trade Association (Seatte Boat Show – Live) where Mark Bunzel, the publisher, and managing editors, Leonard and Lorena Landon, have been giving first hand updates on various cruising grounds open to Washington boaters. Recently they highlighted the RBAW plans to buy and save the Lakebay Marina with our own Bob Wise, President of RBAW, as their guest speaker. Seattle City Council Does Not Gut the Seattle Harbor Patrol Many are not aware that Seattle has sworn police officers who patrol Seattle waters. The Seattle City Council has been mulling over the 2021 budget and in line with defunding a portion of the police department has been taking a hard look at how relevant the city Harbor Patrol is to boating. Boaters appreciate the fact the Harbor Patrol is present to keep boaters safe on the water and ward off negligent boating practices. At one point there was some concern that the Harbor Patrol might be gutted but the most recent information is that the Council voted to eliminate two vacant positions which were unlikely to be filled during the Covid recession. .The Outdoor Recreation Economy is Vital to the Economic Health of Washington Building off an analysis conducted in 2015, there is an overall estimated $26.5 billion in annual expenditures for outdoor recreation. An additional $7.7 billion is spent on outdoor recreation gear, equipment and repair services. This spending goes on to support 264,000 jobs throughout Washington. The average labor income associated with these jobs was $44,000 per year. This puts outdoor recreation on par with Washington’s aerospace industry. Words to Ponder Reported by Webb Chiles – perennial circumnavigator According to a recent NY Times article, boat business is booming. Whoever wrote it seems to think all boats are powerboats. Quote: “In comparison to other big-ticket items like planes or even cars, there is surprisingly little to learn when driving a boat; MarineMax sends a captain out with clients for a single four-hour tutorial.” Chiles offers this statement: “I thought you would want to know that. It explains a lot”. Linda Newland, Interim RBAW Secretary PTYC Delegate to RBAW Volume 120, Issue 7 Baggywrinkle Page 17

Tim & Alice Tibbals

We were wanting a boat with enough space to take family and friends with us. We love Sea Spirit and intend to rename her Salish Dream. We’ve dreamt of a boat to adventure the Salish Sea, but never really thought it could come to pass! Thanks to Painters and Rezinas for helping our dream become a reality!!

Dan & Linda Newland

We jumped from a sailboat to a Grand Banks 36, “Tsusiat” (silent T).

We looked a long time to find her, but wanted a boat that wasn’t on life support. She is well fit for extended cruising .

Only in COVID-19 Times With the Stay at Home Orders mandate, Fred and I worked numerous projects around the house, including landscaping. It wasn’t until July that we got down to Roundabout for our annual clean-up. Our dock neighbors from behind us hailed me on the docks. “You’re from Roundabout, right? Yes . . . “We are so glad you are OK . . . We’ve never seen Roundabout look so bad before!” Sighhhhh . . . Fortunately she cleans up very well for a 30 year old boat! Ilona Bell

PTYC Membership

Living in Alaska, Kathy (a nurse) and Bruce (in the Coast Guard) first met in an on-line chat room in 1997; and 5 weeks later in person. At that time, Bruce was purchasing an 82 Krogen from Gig Harbor. While Kathy had no hands-on boating experience, she offered to help Bruce to bring up his boat, after completing Coast Guard classes. Kathy discovered Bruce was an excellent, patient teacher and she learned so much—especially traveling through the Inside Passage. In fact, upon entering the Hinchinbrook Kathy & Bruce Entrance to Prince William Sound , , Kathy actually brought in “Tenacity” for the first time, while Bruce continued sleeping. They relocated to Washington in retirement, as live-a- boards on Northern Sage. PTYC was their first ever Yacht Club experience and have both been very active club members—leading cruises and monthly watches, supporting various activities; and of course, Bruce joining the Board. They now have a home in Port Townsend and continue cruising Northern Sage.

Northern Sage

2016 Commodore Bruce Painter & A-Commodorable Kathy

Kathy is a super adventurous, well traveled lady! In the summer of 1975, she volunteered at a clinic in Guatemala. Her first nursing position was in

Fairbanks, Alaska. In 1979, Kathy and a friend drove from Fairbanks to Minnesota, then did a 3 month backpacking trip that included Hawaii, American and Western Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand and ended their journey by staying in Australia for 7 weeks. Kathy went home to Minnesota for 3 years, Saudi Arabia for 2 years and then 20 years with the Indian Health Service in Anchorage and some Native villages in Alaska. She next had a 3 month traveling assignment in New York City and finished her nursing career with 2 years in Valdez, Alaska. But did you know . . . In 2014, Bruce took Kathy back to Australia, to become engaged and then married the following year! Ilona Bell, Editor Volume 120, Issue 7 Baggywrinkle Page 21

SEEKING SEEKING PARTNERSHIP 33' NAUTICAT PILOTHOUSE SAILBOAT We are looking for the right person(s) to share our 1985 33' Nauticat Pilothouse Ketch Sailboat! "Northern Comfort" is a true NW boat built for comfort and our unpredictable weather (inside and outside helms). She is currently at Port Hadlock, but will have the option of moving to a Port Townsend berth in the future. Our preference is for someone to take a 1/2 share, but we are open to other options. After an initial buy-in, each partner would equally share all maintenance, repairs and improvements, along with monthly or annual expenses.

We have been in boat partnerships before, and know what is required to have a successful partnership. We have also owned a number of boats before and know the required maintenance and upkeep. "Northern Comfort" is completely cruise-ready. She is well maintained, in superb condition, with lots of features and equipment to add to your sailing ease and comfort.
