Henrietta is planked tight with Port Orford cedar on oak frames. It’s unclear if the house has always been forward, or if she actually was a bow picker originally. I don’t know anything more about her until she showed up in Friday Harbor around 2001. Around 2006 she underwent a major refit at Philbrooks in BC, where some house modifications drawn by William Garden were made, and her big John Deere engine was installed. That owner used her as a mothership for a a kayak tour business, and installed the mast to launch and retrieve the kayaks. A few owners later she fell into slight disrepair in La Conner, and came into our care in 2017. A new transom and some refastening, and she’s been in great shape with a mostly dry bilge ever since. She’s been our family fishing and cruising boat, regularly moving between Seattle and the San Juan Islands.
