Seabiscuit at the Anacortes Boat Show

Seabiscuit Location:  Anacortes, Washington

Seabiscuit had a prime location at the Anacortes Boat Show May 19 - 21.  A front blew through the area on Wednesday afternoon and cleared the air for a beautiful weekend.  With the sun shining and the temperatures in the mid-60s, the weather was perfect for the boat show and outdoor activities in the Anacortes area.

As you may know from our previous blogs, Seabiscuit is for sale.  This link is to our March 6 blog which includes Seabiscuit's details and specifications and a full set of photos.

We had a lot of visitors come aboard to look around Seabiscuit during the boat show.  At times it was so busy that Frank stood at the stern gate to control the number of people aboard while James provided information and answered questions for the people inside.  

Seabiscuit is one of very few trawler style yachts designed and built to demanding Bureau Veritas Class standards which include plan approval and survey during construction. She comes equipped with a full set of drawings, an approved Stability Manual and lifetime technical support is provided by the designer / builder T.C Watson and Sons. 

She is also one of few trawlers under 50' that can boast standing headroom in the engine room.  In addition to the standing headroom, the engine room has easy access to all of the machinery for maintenance and servicing. No yoga is required before routine maintenance is performed.  There is a dedicated entrance door to the engine room,  you don't have to go through a shower and you don't have to remove any mattresses to access the batteries or stabilizers.

The spacious engine room includes two tool boxes plus a workbench with a vice.

Her interior layout features three staterooms and two heads. The raised pilothouse provides an exceptional view for commanding her underway. The main deck entry level has a spacious saloon and an ideal U-shaped galley. Macro-suede upholstery, teak interior, carpet in the saloon and the master staterooms, and granite counters in the galley and heads enhance the luxury aboard.

In addition to the equipment listed on the websites in the links above, Seabiscuit comes with an extensive inventory of spare parts including long lead spares for the main engine, the gen get-home engine, the windlass and other equipment on board.  She is also equipped with an impressive list of safety and survival equipment, including a Viking 6-person life raft recertified in September 2021 and two Stearns cold water immersion suits designed to dramatically increase survival time.
