Belle     47' 1981   Ron Bell designed retro classic

Belle was designed and built by Ron Bell in Richmond British Columbia in 1981. She is one of three sister ships built at the same time, the other two, Hot Rum and Inside Passage, are docked in Spruce Harbor Marina next to Granville Island.  Belle’s home is Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island.

Bell is 47’ long and 12’ wide, her hull is fiberglass but her heart is mahogany. She is powered by an Isuzu 120 diesel and cruises easily at 9 knots using less than 2 gallons of fuel an hour. She makes 13 knots under full power. Belle is a traditional bridge deck cruiser typical of vessels built in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1920’s.

Belle was used as a liveaboard for almost 20 years, and almost never left her dock. She had only 94 hours on her engine when we purchased her. She is currently completing an extensive renovation and will be cruising the Gulfs and the San Juan’s extensively from May through October each year. Although Belle has never left the Pacific Northwest, she is easy to recognize because of her Hawaiian flag; her “home port” is our winter home – Lahaina, Hawaii.  TomBrayton@Hawaii.rr.com   Owner's website

Carmelita
Carmelita was commissioned in 1935 by Mr. Norton Clapp. Designed by naval architect Harold Lee, she was constructed by the Mojean & Erickson Shipyard in Tacoma, Washington. For 60 years Mr. Clapp's family and friends enjoyed Carmelita in waters from Puget Sound to Glacier Bay, Alaska. During World War II, Carmelita was "invited" to serve as a coastal patrol vessel by the United States Coast Guard. For 26 months she was outfitted with a gray paint job and government issue white hull numbers while she served in the Alaska sector. After the war, Carmelita was repowered with Gray 6-71 diesel engines by Anchor Jensen of Seattle. Upon Mr. Clapp's passing in 1994, Peter and Melissa Evans acquired Carmelita from the estate. Carmelita not only continues to be used as a family yacht, she is also equipped and maintained as a USCG inspected vessel, available for charter under the auspices of the Evans Maritime Company.

Euphemia II
Euphemia II (ex Mary MarAnn; Wanderer) was built by Schertzer Bros. in Seattle in 1928. Her current name, which she acquired in 1967 when she came to Canada means “gracious lady.” At 50’ with an 11’ beam and drawing 4’3’’ of water she cruises comfortably at 9.5 knots. Her original Sterling gas engine has been replaced with a 6 cylinder Volvo Turbo Diesel that makes her an economical and reliable cruiser. This is Peggy and Mike O’Brien’s third (and last) classic yacht, having now been members of C.Y.A. since 1976. The Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound and points north are Euphemia’s playground.
