GH37 on Lake Union

Waterline Boats has listed a unique boat presenting an unusual opportunity for adventuresome, water-oriented people! This 2000 Great Harbour GH37 yacht is a stout little ship with amazing living space. She’d make a great live-aboard, and when its owners cast off lines she’s capable of exploring the far reaches of Puget Sound, British Columbia and Alaska comfortably and safely. She’s powered with economical twin Yanmar 56 hp diesel engines, equipped with a complete electronics suite, home-sized appliances (including washer/dryer), two staterooms with private heads, a Caribe dinghy, and even a bathtub!

Lake Union moorage is available for transfer — if you’re thinking about a Lake Union houseboat and want to live in the heart of the exciting South Lake Union marineplex consider a boat that can actually take you places!

Camano 41 Design Modified

September 14, 2009

Camano 41 with Helm Station DoorWith feedback from customers and dealers, Bracewell Boatworks has modified the Camano 41 to include a helm station door! Providing quick access to the foredeck, the pantographing-type door makes both docking and single-handing safer and easier. The door is made by Diamond Seaglaze, so it seals watertight and is sturdily built.

With the addition of the helm station door, the window line has been modified to present a new clean and streamlined appearance!

2009 Camano Rendezvous at Thetis Island, B.C.

July 16, 2009

2009 Camano Redndezvous 1The 17th Annual Camano Rendezvous was held at Thetis Island Marina July 10 – 12. With 27 boats involved, great weather, a lovely setting, and a number of first-time participants, the rendezvous was very enjoyable and an opportunity to share experiences and Camano information. A marine life Q&A by Andy Lamb, noted marine biologist and author of “Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest” (2005 by Harbour Publishing) provided new insights into our beautiful cruising grounds.

The 18th Annual Camano Rendezvous has been confirmed for the same location next year – July 9-11, 2010!

2009 Trawler Fest Anacortes

May 11, 2009

TrawlerFestThe Waterline Boats crew enjoyed a successful TrawlerFest in beautiful Anacortes. After getting thoroughly soaked on arrival day we appreciated the sunny weather that predominated during the show. The Bracewell Pacesetter 540 received several “best in show” comments from guests and the Mariner 37 Pilothouse Trawler hosted many repeat visitors and two sea trials before returning to our Lake Union office. We had a lot of interest in our Boatshed International Yacht Brokerage system, which continues to grow with over 70 offices worldwide and is proving itself to be the best process for listing and selling a used boat!
