1969 Custom William Garden Ketch

The deck plan gives a good impression of her breadth and usable deck room. The cockpit and helm area is on the same level as the main weather decks and has excellent seating space and is well sheltered. The pilot house is equipped with a pilot berth, chart table and navigation equipment. The great cabin aft, across the stern, is of particular interest and should be most appealing for an extended period of living aboard. The door on the starboard side leads into a master stateroom with queen berth and head. On the port side the galley is stretched along the passage way. Forward of the pilot house is a guest berth and head. Further forward is another stateroom and head.

There is a stewards pantry at the forward end of the galley that has the freezer and refrigeration boxes that are fitted with holding plates, along with a beverage chill box at the after end of the galley also fitted with holding plates. The three boxes offer more than adequate storage for world class cruising, and are powered by one 1-horsepower compressor. The freezer easily goes to zero degrees or lower. This pantry area is fitted with storage cabinets and is easily accessed from the galley area.

This classic steel cutter rigged ketch was designed by William Garden and built by Duwamish Welding Works in Seattle Washington. She was originally commissioned by Paul Whittier whose father founded Whittier, California as a wedding present for his daughter. She and her husband planned an extensive world cruise and the vessel built using only the finest materials and construction techniques.

The goal was to build strong, safe and comfortable vessel for world cruising. The Duwamish Welding Company was well known in the Pacific Northwest for building top quality steel commercial fishing boats and created a formidable hull that was finished at Whittier Island Boatyard, owned by the Whittier family. No expense was spared to create a fine, practical yacht. Construction includes a collision bulkhead for safety at sea.

The current owner spent purchased the vessel in 2011. He did extensive refurbishment and continued to carefully maintain her. She looks in excellent condition and is well suited to living aboard or world cruising.
