KINTOREA 37’ BILL GARDEN DESIGNED HEAVY DISPLACEMENT WEST COAST

TYPE CRUISING VESSEL OFFERED FOR SALE:

KINTORE is a 37 ft. very wholesome sail assisted West Coast Type Motor Vessel with extraordinary use of space

above and below decks. The boat radiates substance and character that began with the design by William Garden

as a modern adaptation of the Pacific Northwest Halibut Schooners, known for their sea worthiness in Alaskan

waters and the Bering Sea. The word Kintore is an ancient Scottish name meaning “safe haven.”

The Garden design, as described in WoodenBoat magazine (No. 111), was enhanced by the original owner

Jim Mitchell’s thoughtful accommodation redesign. His remarkable engineering skill is shown in his 30 sheets of

design drawings detailing all aspects of the vessel. Bringing together the talent and extraordinary experience of

these two designers resulted in a cruising boat that serves her crew well whether underway or anchored. Useful

deck space, abundant storage, interior spaces that work and a dream galley are real features that provide

functionality usually found in boats much larger than her size. Her ability to provide comfort and safety to a crew of

two, and occasional guests, is excellent whether in coastal waters or offshore.

Her construction in 1995 was approached as building a “hundred year boat” by a blue ribbon team in Maine using

wooden boatbuilding methods of superior quality, as again written up in WoodenBoat magazine (no. 140). Months

spent in careful selection of wood produced a hull with massive old growth longleaf yellow pine keel and keelsons,

quarter sawn 1½” Atlantic white cedar planking that is copper rivet fastened to doubled white oak frames. All
