NEWS & NOTES
THE CAMANO 41 IS BACK AGAIN
The Camano 41 has been in limbo
for a long time. The British Columbia
company that developed the boat
was sold, and that buyer soon sold
the business again. Camano fanciers
have been asking: when will the 41
return to market?
Well, it’s here.
Waterline Boats of Seattle
( www.waterlineboats.com) says that
it is now building the workboat-styled trawler and that many
improvements have been made
—
including the addition of a second
stateroom. The 41 is being built at
Richmond, British Columbia-based
Bracewell Boatworks, a company
that was for a short time an owner
of the Camano line.
Bracewell has added cherry
joinery, a settee, a dining table, and a
full-size wet locker. The 41 will be
offered in a cruise-ready package
that includes a Furuno NavNet 3D
navigation system, a generator, an
inverter, a dinghy and crane, a bow
thruster, an entertainment system, a
washer/dryer, and cabin heat.
The 41, known for its Keelform
hull design, which allows efficient
operation over a wide range of
speeds, is powered by a 435hp
Volvo Penta D6 diesel engine.
“The Camano 41 is a beautifully
designed and finished boat that
performs remarkably well,” says
Scott Helker, president of Waterline
Boats. “The two-stateroom model
answers the desire for greater
accommodation, and Bracewell
Boatworks is known for top-quality
construction.”—R.M.L.

Nautical Structures, which builds
hydraulic davits capable of lifting
more than 25,000 lb., has come to

system that can hoist dinghies
