I enjoyed visiting Coal Harbor Marina several years ago. Beautiful harbor, nice docks and nice walk to Stanley Park.
Gotta love the floating fuel docks out in the outer harbor.

Don't forget to visit again sailronin!, the skyline is transforming all the time (unprecedented building boom).
Vancouver was voted #2 most livable city in the world, behind Geneva.
BTW.. only the Chevron is still here, the Esso is gone.

Good to see Orion venturing out of warmer waters. She’s a LONG way from the last time I saw her. Feadship built her in 1984 and she’s around 125’ in length. If I remember correctly, Orion may be one of the last canoe sterns built by Feadship?
I really envy you guys in the Pacific Northwest… during summer!  |

Did I read this correctly? 1 million for a 1988 115' Christensen that was re-fit in 2003? Or is this the amount of the price reduction?  | |

I think that it should be noted that the refit was done by Cape Scott Marine headed by Hans Staals in Delta, builder of the 85' Cape Scott trawler (you know, the red one!). Bray Yacht Design and Research (also designer of the Cape Scott) did the design work for the bimini top, new flybridge layout and so on.
We built a model of her during her refit.
I'll post a photo soon.

I assume it's this one... http://www.buyexploreryachts.com/brokerage-amnesia.html
I like her interior design (cozy), but the yacht looks a bit to "commercial" for my liking, unlike like the new and beautiful "Cape Scott 82" IMO.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I've always liked that little explorer. Quirky shape, bright color... neat. The only thing I'd change on the outside is the radar-arch, exhaust stack, mess up top.
The interior is definitely nice, but some of the fabrics and carpets look a little too "mature" for my tastes.

That's for sure and probably with good reason. In my mind, Burger’s “Top Times” was the prelude, but I’m sure there were others. In a few short years we’ve seen a paradigm shift. Gone are gradual sheer lines, replaced by big bow, swell swallowing, rise to the occasion, offshore hulls capable of venturing anywhere… as it should be! Although these hulls had previously been associated with expedition yachts, the line has been blurred now. Northern Marine comes to mind as a builder that takes this design to an extreme, but in reality, they are simply derivatives of commercial boats. Below is an example of Northern Marine’s “Endurance” docked at a marina nearby my house… http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/at...g?d=1149196826
It’s hard to say where and when a dramatic rise in sheer was first applied to private, luxury yachts, but we may have someone around here that was ahead of the curve. It was a boat called “Chianti” and it remains an epiphany to me. This boat was penned long before anything resembling today’s new hulls hit the water… http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/ya...hlight=chianti | |
