We didn’t have a lot of time, but we were able to get the two boats out for a photo shoot. This is the only picture that I have so far. It was interesting. Paolo drove the #2 boat and I drove Nor’wester. We found that at top speed, the #2 boat is about a knot faster due to not …
And Then There Were Two
A lot has happened since my last update. We launched hull 2 in late February with quite a bit of interior finish work to be completed. The owner and owner’s representative came out to visit and were thrilled with what they found.That’s the owner on the left with Robert Noyce, our Annapolis representative. The owner, we’ll call him “T” has …

Catching Up………..
I am sorry that I am so tardy in posting an update. Since we returned with the boat from Nanaimo, we have been busy getting ready for the Seattle Boats Afloat Show on Lake Union and working hard to finish hull 2. Jan and I took Nor’wester down to Seattle a couple of weeks ago in preparation for the show. …
Northwest 45
We are getting ready to announce a designation change for the NW42 Less than three years ago we kicked off the design program for the Northwest Trawler line.

During this time the boat we have always referred …
Home Again
Happy New Year !! Saturday Steve drove Jan and me to the Tsawwassen Ferry to cross over to Nanaimo and offload Nor’wester. The Tsawwassen Ferry is just over the border in BC and we thought that traffic would be light and getting to the ferry would not be an issue……WRONG… As we approached the border crossing we were greeted with …
Say It Ain’t So……. or…….The Party’s Over
It is fitting that the last morning would dawn spectacularly. We had to be at the ship by 8:00 AM so we left at 6:45 to allow plenty of time.The crew had already begun to submerge Super Servant 3 in preparation of the 13 boarding yachts.Here is Navigator, a Krogen 48 preparing to enter. She will be the first powerboat …
Our Ship Has Come In
Jan asked me this morning if I thought the ship would be on time or late. I said, “probably on time, why?” She then said, “oh shoot, I was hoping it might be 6 months late.”I turned on the Nobeltec and lo and behold, the AIS showed that Super Servant 3 was in port.I jumped in the rental jeep and …
Isla Espiritu Santos
Today we took potential clients (who have become friends) on an extended sea trial to Isla Espiritu Santos. This is an absolutely gorgeous island that is about 18 miles from Marina CostaBaja where we are moored in La Paz. Much has been written about Isla Espiritu Santos and the neighboring island, Isla Partida. This is a wonderful area to spend …
Meanwhile…..Back at the Ranch
I spent 4 days back in Anacortes this week discussing the latest progress on the project. I tried to get back into the swing of thing but it didn’t work very well. I went from gorgeous 80 degree weather in La Paz to mid 30s weather in Anacortes. A shock to the system. Hull #2 While there I was able …
