Overview FeaturesNIGHTFALL, a steel pilot house trawler, designed by William (Bill) Garden and built by Waterline Yachts in Sidney, British Columbia. She is a true NW boat combining the skill of her renowned designer with the craftsmanship of her highly regarded builder. An Alaskan veteran, she has proven herself worthy of her pedigree time and again. While NIGHTFALL's design is strong, capable and in the tradition of the northwest fishing trawler, her other attributes include significant cruising economy and comfort. Her 135hp LUGGER / JOHN DEERE diesel engine is extremely efficient burning 1.1 GPH at 7 knots, great economy at a reasonable speed. Her warm pilothouse with L-shaped settee provides a cozy 360 degree view to the surrounding seascape as well as the controls and instrumentation to keep her on course. Down below her light filled main Saloon is spacious with a Galley that will meet the needs of the most demanding chef. The large Master stateroom with ensuite Head and convertible Pilothouse settee provide good accommodations for the cruising couple and occasional guests. Throughout the boat, there is plenty of storage for all the spares and stores necessary for long term voyages. |
