Comments from the Owner:
Vintage Port; Classic Wood Motor Yacht-Ed Monk Sr Design, for Sale:
Proposals are invited from sophisticated mariners who wish to enjoy the pleasure and live the ongoing journey of Vintage Port.
Legacy:
Vintage Port has a legacy of 70 years of cruising the protected inside coastal waters of Canada’s Pacific Northwest, from the Gulf Islands, to Desolation Sound and beyond. Launched in 1954 at Matsumoto Shipyard in Dollarton, North Vancouver, BC (the current site of major shipbuilder Allied Shipbuilders ), Vintage Port in its journey to date has experienced 9 owners, and 7 name titles.
Vintage Port is currently moored in its boathouse at Noth Saanich Marina, Sidney, BC, the gateway to the majestic cruising vistas of the Gulf Islands.
The boathouse is available to a serious bidder for Vintage Port, under separate tender/proposal.
Vintage Port is under Federal Canada Registry, Victoria BC, and has the sole right to the title "Vintage Port” for a vessel in Canada. This title was “borrowed" from vintner Taylor Fladgate Croft during a delightful visit and celebration of the vintners renowned produce, in the highlands of the Douro River Valley, Portugal.
History of Care & Upgrades:
As with all classic motor yachts, each has its own specific vintage history, and the preservation of each is captive and dependent on the dedicated care and vision of its owners, and the commitment of skilled suppliers/trades in the maintenance/upgrades requred in support of the ongoing journey. Vintage Port has been “blessed" with such attention!
In the last 50 years of its journey, Vintage Port has had only 2 owners, each of whom have lavished meticulous care in its maintenance and upgrade, all with the objective to maintain hull integrity, cruising comfort, and operational safety and reliability. Over this period, Vintage Port has always been moored in its own boathouse.
A recent 20 year documented history of this care includes, but is not limited to, the following;
Period 2005-17; Previous Owner:
Period 2018-24; Current Owner:
During this period, religious practice has been spring season “haul out on the hard”, c/w pressure wash of hull, repaint of anti-fouling, inspection of hull integrity, upgrade of zincs, and conduct of formal vessel survey. Concurrent to these haul outs, Vintage Port has benefited with significant upgrades, commissioned with a team of dedicated trades/supply specialists, certified to marine standards, and engaged and committed to the ongoing journey of Vintage Port; a listing of various such works includes, but is not limited to, the following, a detailed summary of which, totaling $ 150,000 + Cdn, is available to a serious buyer;
