Astelle (formerly Double J) is a charming, historically significant wooden classic yacht built for Pacific Northwest waters. Designed by Stan Hope in conjunction with naval architect George Bend and constructed in Vancouver, BC, her single-piece oak keel and sturdy yellow cedar hull embody the robust craftsmanship of the era. Launched around 1942-1943 (keel laid in 1938, delayed by WWII), she features original portholes salvaged from HMCS Vancouver. Her sister ship, Faranda, continues to sail in local BC waters.
This full-displacement vessel has been lovingly maintained and restored by knowledgeable owners, making her ready for family cruising in the San Juans, BC, and beyond. She offers comfortable accommodations, efficient single-diesel power, and a wealth of period charm blended with modern upgrades. Astelle is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Pacific Northwest maritime history - strong, elegant, and ready for new adventures.
Forward double berth (converted with custom mattress and storage drawers), spacious saloon with port/starboard seating, galley, and head (fully remodeled). Doghouse added over stern deck with access to tender deck. Tastefully decorated with custom antique lighting fixtures, Honduran Mahogany throughout and Cedar Plank floors, carpets, custom canvas on stern doghouse, custom curtains and window screens.
