More Grand Banks 49s in Seattle
Even though we have an accepted offer on Gallinero, the haul out and survey is not scheduled until September 22nd. There is always the possibility that the survey wil uncover something that would cause us to back away from the deal.
Therefore, just to keep the options open in the event of a failed deal, we are off to Seattle to look at a couple more of 49 Grand Banks.
Vintage is hull #105. What is most intriguing is that she has a galley down configuration. We loved the galley down on the 46s we have chartered, so this has a lot of initial interest for us.

In the end, the fact that she did not have stabilizers nor a bow thruster took her out of the running. Click here for more information about Vintage.
Next, we went to another marina in Seattle to take a look at North Star. She is an older boat, hull #95.
