Reduced! 54′ William Garden Trawler – Connoisseur’s Yacht – $119,500 – Seattle, WA

William Garden Trawler

Crystal Sea

Architect William Garden said of this modified ‘Coastal Express’ design; “This is a yacht for the connoisseur…don’t think a boat like this can be built by anybody.  It takes great craftsmanship… the work of Philbrook’s crew is superb, especially in the interior finishing.”

Her hull is double planked cedar with a fine entry, “the most efficient shape possible for a boat of this displacement and velocity.”

Crystal Sea accommodates six adults in style and comfort, and her twin 370hp Cummins are capable of 19 knots.

With her extraordinary 1100 gallon fuel capacity, her designer says she can make a run to San Diego without refueling!

We just had the boat blocked in a covered shed in November for hull survey, bottom paint, a complete refinishing of foredeck, pilot house, mid and aft salon decks, as well as the transom.

She’s been freshly cleaned inside and out and ready right now for your inspection.

General accommodations
Enter “Crystal Sea” on the enclosed aft salon through the transom, or through the Pilot House portside entry.  The main engines and genset are easily accessible below four fully insulated hatches here, and there is enough room for spares and deck gear in the built-in lockers and bench seat in the aft salon.  With more than sixteen foot beam, this aft salon area is very spacious.

The main salon entry is through two sliding doors with a step down to the carpeted sole.  To the starboard is a full length settee and a hi-lo table for dining or cocktails.  To the port are cupboards and open shelving along with access to the main electrical panels, the inverter, and the 12v and 32v battery charging systems.  There is a full width cabinet with a built-in bar, ice maker and dish storage, along with an entertainment system against the forward salon bulkhead.

The galley is to starboard in the companionway.  Stainless sink with disposal, trash compactor, four burner electric stove top and oven with a ventilated hood, dual stainless commercial grade reefers … and a microwave.  You’ll have ample storage for cookware, provisions and linens.

The guest stateroom is down two steps to the port side adjacent the galley.  Twin bunks, a vanity, storage cabinets and a hanging locker.  The guest head with separate shower adjoins.

Continuing forward, the laundry with stacked W/D and a hanging storage area is to starboard ahead of the galley.

Forward and down one step to the Master stateroom with queen sized berth and three built-in cabinets.  Also gain access to the forepeak storage area from here.  The ensuite master head and shower stall are private.

Steps lead from the galley area up to the Pilot House.  Here you have full 360 degree visibility, a captain’s chair and a large forward helm bench.  To the aft in the Pilot House is an enormous seating area with a table for studying charts, or for lunch and visitors!  There are helm and engine controls in the Pilot House, forward on the Portuguese bridge, and at the starboard aft deck.  There is a full canvas Pilot House enclosure that attaches to the Portuguese bridge for winter storage.

The cabinetry throughout “Crystal Sea” is beautifully fitted and has a gorgeous finish.  There are Berber carpets in all spaces and individual electric forced air heaters as well as a central radiating heat system.  Headroom throughout the boat is at least 6′ 6″. The Northern Lights 12kw genset will provide for your needs while cruising and she has both 30 and 50 amp shore power at the dock.

She was originally custom built in 1968 for a member of the Vancouver Yacht Club, and highlighted at her launching by Pacific Yachting magazine. Her recent owners of more than a decade took her back to builder Philbrooks Yard in Sidney, B.C., on a regular basis every other summer for routine maintenance and upkeep.  Our work this past November was devoted to re-sealing and painting her Pilot House deck, foredeck, mid and aft salon decks and getting the bottom sanded and repainted.  While there’s always more to do when maintaining a beautiful wood boat, she’s tight, sound, dry and ready for winter cruising!
