Own a piece of Pacific Northwest HISTORY - and "live like the Duke!" -- The current owner/preservationist of John Wayne's first yacht offers partial ownership (min 20% - max 49%) of this historic vessel, for your active (or silent) partnership in this vessel and her charter business. With a spacious pilothouse ahead of the main-deck salon at deck-level, a long open foredeck, sheltered side-decks, then three private staterooms plus separate crews' quarters AND a grand dining room belowdecks, she's ideal for cruising with friends and family. Norwester has a wonderful big-yacht 'feel' with a warm, inviting satin-varnished mahogany and gloss white paint interior hearkening to the era of her build; practical weather-proof exterior finishes (all surfaces recently re-furbished, including rubberized coating of boat-deck and pilothouse roof). Over past 3 years, this new owner has completed Phase I restoration work to ensure full seaworthiness; also has brought mechanical, electrical, and other on-board systems up-to-date. All work has been under the watchful eye of one of the northwest's leading wooden-boat surveyors. Phase II projects are now underway; new partner(s) are expected to "buy-in", with whole-hearted commitment, to the joy of the full restoration -- over time -- of this extraordinary vessel. Firm price quoted is for 49% share, based on 2008 survey valuation, completed upgrades since that survey, and includes $33k to be placed into escrow toward half-share of all Phase II renovations.
