Overview

CANVASBACK is a remarkable and well-designed motorsailer that works as well in the tropics as she does at higher latitudes.  Her shoal draft has allowed her to travel easily throughout the Western Caribbean and the Bahamas.  Her tabernacle mast made possible her trip from the Caribbean to Chicago (via the Mississippi River) to the Labrador coast.  And her pilothouse made her owners comfortable in the higher latitudes.  Few boats are as well suited for this range of experiences!

Wellington Yachts built many of its yachts, including CANVASBACK, with a passive flotation option.  Using nearly 600 cubic feet of closed cell foam in all the void spaces, she was designed to remain afloat even in the case of being fully flooded.  In this event, she is designed to sink only 8”, leaving the berths and pilothouse dry and maintaining stability and sailing capability.

She’s been very well maintained.  A 2012 refit included:  bottom job and complete topside paint, new LED lights, tricolor masthead light with strobe, searchlight and 12v Vetus bow thruster.  At this time the mast was removed, repainted and rewired.  

In 2014, a further refit was undertaken, which included:  new mainsail furling, new chainplates, new motor for windlass, new inverter, new injectors for the main engine as well as a new exhaust system.

  • Amazing engine room, very clean, with full stand up headroom
  • Cruises effortlessly at 8+ knots in all conditions; max speed is 11+
  • Enormous tankage: integral fiberglass tanks hold 500 gallons of both water and fuel
  • Enormous range under power

Construction Details

Wellington Yachts built many of its yachts, including “Canvasback”, with a passive floatation option.  Using nearly 600 cubic feet of closed cell foam in all the void spaces, she was designed to remain afloat even in the case of being fully flooded.  She would sink only 8”, leaving the berths and pilothouse dry and maintaining stability and sailing capability.

She has tremendous range under power, copious amounts of storage, and great accommodations in her 3 staterooms.  At 7 knots, her range is estimated to be 2500 nautical miles.  When motor sailing, she is quite extraordinary.  With a bit of wind on nearly any heading, from hard on the wind to a very broad reach, and the engine ticking over at 1200 – 1400 rpm, cruising speed is typically 8.5 – 9 knots; the boat is heeling just slightly and the ride is smooth, comfortable and quiet.  Remarkably, at about 2100 rpm (still well below top rated engine rpm) the boat makes over 10 knots!  The engine has demonstrated it has plenty of power to drive the boat into high head winds and seas with little loss of speed.  In these conditions the ride remains surprisingly comfortable due to the long waterline and fine entry.

Her current owner purchased her 2014 and spent approximately $80,000 going through all of her systems, updating and upgrading stem to stern, in anticipation of a Caribbean cruise.  As sometimes happens, his plans have changed so she is now offered for sale, ready to go!
