Nancy's China is one of Sam Devlin's stitch and glue designs. This boat was built by a WoodenBoat School class taught by Sam. The sail rig, traveler, and other features were added by the current owner.

This particular boat was sprit rigged, and had an 18', 30 lb., un-stayed, solid wood mast stepped through the deck. The current owner changed this to a gaff rig using spars of carbon fiber tubing with wooden ends. The mast is still un-stayed, but is now stepped on deck in an aluminum tabernacle that the current owner made. (More details on these changes can be seen in the Spring 2004 issue of The Ash Breeze, or on our Builder & Owner Testimonials page.

To simplify sail handling, the jib has roller furling; and throat and peak halyards are lead to the cockpit. Harken X-Treme Angle Fairleads® for jib sheet cam cleats allow the sheets to be adjusted from the windward side. A new stainless steel traveler keeps the main sheet block from hitting and damaging the boat. An electric trolling motor provides silent, easy to use auxillary power.

Asking Price is $7,900 dollars---condition is excellent.

She is located in Port Townsend, Washington.

This extremely well found vessel is one of our popular “Czarinna 35” pilothouse style cruisers, capable of cruising waters on either coasts. She has cruised 3 times to Alaska and back averaging 2.1 gallons of fuel per hour and 7.5 knots over the bottom. I delivered her back from Southeast Alaska on one trip and our total running time was 112 hours for the journey (only 4 hours more running time than a 41ft. Sockeye did on the same journey). Power on the “Serendipity” are twin 3GM Yanmar diesel engines located below the settees in the main salon port and starboard sides.  She has over 100 gallons of fuel in 3 tanks and the range is an easy 300 plus nautical miles. Engine controls are electronic and she has cockpit engine controls in addition to the pilothouse. Most maneuvering in tight conditions is done from the aft station using only the engines to steer her.

The cabin is entered thru a centerline doorway with head compartment on the starboard side and separate shower/wet gear locker on the port side. Forward of the shower on the port side is a propane bulkhead fireplace and a 7ft. long settee. Opposite the settee is a fore and aft dinette table with room for four to dine. The table top retracts down to make this space into a double berth and the settee opposite is a comfortable single berth. The galley is forward of the settee and dinette area and on both sides of the boat with a 2-burner propane range, below counter refrigerator, and a sink to round out keeping the crew happy and well fed.

Fixed helm and co-helm seats round out the pilothouse with visibility excellent thru 5 large tempered safety glass windows, 3 of them opening type. Extra light and ventilation is also accessed thru a large opening sky-light hatch in the cabin roof above the salon.

Forward in the fo'c'sle is a large double berth and locker. Bookshelves and hanging lockers for gear round out the forward berth area with another opening skylight hatch over the flush forward deck and (2) opening portlights in the hull sides for extra light and ventilation. The seating in the main salon is all dark green leather and the fit and finish of this boat is superb! The hull is dark green urethane paint with beige decks and red anti-fouling paint. Electronics package is very complete with Radar, Autopilot, Depth and Speed, Vhf, GPS and Chart-Plotter. Other highlights are a stainless steel bow pulpit, and a electric anchor windlass, and a “Polliwog” dingy on davits aft at the fantail stern.

Asking Price is $195,000 dollars---condition is excellent---engine hours 2,145 (they were completely gone thru and serviced in 2005).

This is an extraordinary vessel with replacement cost for a comparably equipped boat in the $340,000 range. She is located in Olympia, Washington
