Originally built by Blanchard on Seattles Lake Union, commissioned by the US Army in 1942 as “T-Boat 32”
Paspatoo underwent a non-stop 30 year complete reconstruction/yacht conversion ($28m USD pre-inflation costs). The first 6 years of her reconstruction took place in California, then delivered to Port Townsend where from 1986 to 2013 the project was completed by Port Townsend co-op, Townsend Bay Marine and Haven Boatworks. Redesigned by Eden & Eden Architects. Paspatoo’s last systems updates took place through 2017 and 2024. New batteries, inverters and aux chargers installed 1/24. She is currently hauled out undergoing a professional refit to bring all maintenance up to par.
Redesigned by Eden and Eden Architects, San Francisco, CA.
Designed by famed naval architect Ralph Winslow. Following a military career, the vessel was sold into civilian life. Where many of these types of vessels were de-commissioned for relatively obscure demise, this is the example of a passion for restoration and updating without equal.
FAQ-
Does she have a COI?
Answer: No, she has never been chartered, however as she is US built and with her gross tonnage over 100tons she can be chartered as a 12 passenger UPV and with her current configuration, it would also not be difficult to acquire a COI for a higher passenger count
Paspatoo is managed by an incredible captain who would love to continue managing and maintaining Paspatoo under her next ownership - otherwise lessons can be provided to the next owner/captain
2.5 staterooms, 2 heads, heat and air conditioning, state of the art ventilation systems, teak hot tub on aft deck, outdoor shower
Her state of the art ventilation systems are two separate systems; one system for the cabins and the other for the bilge, preventing odors from forming, providing constant fresh air for comfort and allowing the hull to breath
