Featured Boat – 1996 Camano 31!

November 30, 2011

The Camano 31 Trawler (Trolls and Gnomes) are well-regarded boats for many reasons.

  • Quality Canadian craftsmanship
  • Stable, efficient Keelform hull design
  • Stout, sturdy, capable construction
  • 360 degree visibility from helm
  • Easy-to-maintain inside and out
  • They usually survey very well due to design and construction
  • They hold their value well
  • the list goes on and on…..

This 1996 Camano 31 is unbelievably clean and shows as nearly new. Which is a tribute not only to the previous owners, but to the quality of construction of these popular Pacific Northwest Trawlers. This particular model has many system and interior upgrades which make an already desirable boat even more appealing!

19th Annual Camano Rendezvous!

July 17, 2011

Tradition was broken this year when the 19th Annual Pacific Northwest Camano Rendezvous was held in the US instead of Thetis Island, BC. Camano Trolls, Camano Gnomes, Camano 41′s and the recently-launched Bracewell 41 were gathered at the Lopez Islander Resort in Fisherman Bay on Lopez Island. Attendance was smashing this year with 32 vessels and 64 Camano enthusiasts! Food, spirits, activities, conversation, prizes and fun were abundant. A great time was had by all!

~Camanos and owners preparing for the Friday evening Trawler Crawl which was followed by the traditional Camano Rondy pot luck.

~Camano 31 Trawlers await their owners to return from the plentiful island activities.

~Saturday Farmers Market is already a popular destination for Islanders and was heavily attended by folks from the Camano Rendezvous.

~U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary officer Gary Ford led a very informative boating safety discussion. Camano owners warmly welcomed Gary and his wife Tara despite their arrival in a red-hulled Nordic Tugs trawler!

~Boaters shared (confessed) their most embarrassing / harrowing / disastrous boating experiences and their “lessons learned”. The group voted and determined that Bron’s & Jay’s story was the BEST. Their lesson — trust your fuel gauges and don’t let your fuel get too low!

 

A big Thank You to the following for their gift donations:
Vic Harrison, SEA Magazine, Peoples Bank, Nor’westing Magazine, Northwest Yachting Magazine, West Marine, Coastal Marine Engine, Fisheries Supply, Trident Funding, Marine Detail Specialists & PassageMaker Magazine.

Bracewell 41 Launch!

July 2, 2011

Bracewell Boatworks launched another Bracewell 41 Performance Trawler (built on the Camano 41 Keelform hull design) Tuesday 28 June, sold by Waterline Boats of Seattle. The proud new owners are Rod and Becky Nowlin (pictured above). Becky christened “R-N-R” with an explosion of champagne, and Rod followed with firecrackers at the bow, a Thai tradition said to frighten evil spirits away.

After cruising the world in their steel-hulled sailboat for 15 years, Rod and Becky selected the Bracewell 41 as their new home and will focus their cruising on the beautiful waters of Alaska, British Columbia and Washington.

Rod and Becky are pictured with Lance Bracewell of Bracewell Boatworks, and Scott and Lisa Helker of Waterline Boats.

Fresh From Alaska!

May 31, 2011

This tasty one-owner 2003 Camano 31 Gnome Trawler is At Our Seattle Lake Union Docks!

Before delivery from Alaska to Seattle this Camano Gnome was kept in dry indoor storage for eight months yearly — which accounts for the low engine hours and great condition. And she’s well-configured for fishing with a custom electric pot puller, rod holders, rod storage and a beautiful top quality Stidd helm chair.

The Gnome model is built without a flybridge giving it a lower profile and providing a wealth of topside storage for crab pots, fish net, kayaks or whatever!

World-Cruisers With Their Bracewell 41

March 31, 2011

Rod and Becky Nowlin are pictured with Lance Bracewell aboard their new Bracewell 41 trawler, under construction at the Bracewell Boatworks yard in Richmond, BC.

Their blue-hulled Bracewell 41 is progressing quickly toward a June completion. Rod and Becky have specified several custom features on their boat, including a commercial-duty Isuzu 7.2 liter 344 hp engine custom refrigeration and freezer systems with engineroom-mounted compressors, several galley modifications, and a custom entertainment center with a drop-down GIGANTIC wide-screen LCD TV.

Rod and Becky selected the Bracewell 41 after extensively interviewing Lance, and following careful examination of the construction of a prior Bracewell 41. In 15 years cruising the world in their steel-hulled sailboat they’ve acquired a deep knowledge of what works and what doesn’t, and made their decision accordingly. Rod is retired US Navy, and they both are well-known in cruising circles (google “Rod Nowlin”…) for having successfully defended themselves against a pirate attack in the Gulf of Aden in 2005. Their world-cruising came to an abrupt end before dawn one morning in 2009 when their sailboat was struck by a Baltic Sea ferry operating without a proper watch – another remarkable story. They have even more tales of extreme situations and adventures at sea!

Rod and Becky are Alaska residents, intend to live aboard their Bracewell 41, and will focus their cruising on the waters of Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington.

camanotrawlers.com Introducing…….The Pacific Northwest Source for Camano Trawlers

March 25, 2011

Built by Camano Yachts Ltd. and Bracewell Boatworks from 1990 through 2007, the remarkable Camano 31 trawler has remained in demand. Featuring consistently high quality, a proprietary, efficient hull design, and a practical, no-nonsense approach to comfortable cruising, nearly 270 Camano 31 models (Trolls and Gnomes) were purchased by an enthusiastic group of owners. The model now continues under the manufacture of Camano Yachts America.

The success of the Camano 31 provided the foundation for the Camano 41 – with extraordinary seakeeping characteristics and a roomy, luxurious interior. Bracewell Boatworks has adapted and updated the Camano 41 model, and is now producing the striking Bracewell 41.
