About

NORTHERN COMFORT was built by Wray Brown at their St. Williams, Ontario shipyard which is recognized internationally for its skills and versatility. The original owners purchased NORTHERN COMFORT as a liveaboard vessel, capable of long-range cruising. She is not the typical custom steel boat that was finished by a well-meaning but lesser-skilled private individual. The interior work was professionally done. She's comfortable and solid, but not fancy.

Her Europa-style layout lends itself very nicely to the cruising lifestyle. As you enter the salon from the stern, there is a galley to the port and a small head to starboard. Moving further forward, there is a spacious salon with room to relax. To starboard is the lower helm with great visibility. Moving forward and going down a few steps is an island queen with storage to starboard and a full-size head with shower to port. The flybridge area is large with plenty of seating and room for a dinghy and outboard and an electric winch on the mast davit.

With a fuel capacity of 700 gallons and water capacity of 400 gallons, NORTHERN COMFORT has the capability of making extended passages. Her 135 hp Perkins Diesel makes her economical to run (1.5 GPH at5 knots), and her Onan 8.0 KW generator provides for all her power needs at anchor. NORTHERN COMFORT has always served as a safe, seaworthy and comfortable home for both sets of her owners.

In the interest of full disclosure, her canvas is tired and should be replaced. She could use a bit of sprucing up interior-wise with an overall cleaning and some redecorating. Having said this, she certainly appears to be structurally and mechanically sound. For those willing to take the road less traveled, she is patiently awaiting to be upgraded aesthetically and taken on her next voyage.

 

Testimonials

George did an amazing job of selling our CS 30 sailboat. A caring and compassionate person, he went above and beyond our expectations and never stopped working on our behalf to get the job done. We are forever grateful for his dedication to his work. Please let him know how much we think of him!

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Greg. Last October, my husband suddenly passed away due to a heart attack, leaving behind two boats. Greg was instrumental in helping me sell the first boat quickly and at a very good price. As for the second boat, due to my husband's declining health in his final year, the boat had been sitting idle at the dock near our home for over a year. Greg demonstrated the utmost professionalism in cleaning, maintaining, and preparing the boat for sale. He put in a tremendous amount of work, understanding the niche market for this boat, and always kept me informed of his progress without burdening me with the stress of the process. Last week, Greg successfully sold the second boat, and I am very satisfied with the price achieved. His professionalism and confidence in his work gave me a much-needed sense of security during such a difficult time.    

Thank you for all your work in facilitating the sale of our dad's boat. Jake and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into it with the many visits, paperwork, etc. A special mention has to go out to Grant for teaching me how to fold the sails!

As first-time boat buyers and as foreigners wanting to buy a cruising catamaran in the US, we knew we needed a reliable broker that had our best interests in mind. John Heintzman was just that, and more! He was extremely committed to understanding what we were looking for, gave great advice, and guided us through the purchase process with great patience and knowledge. All in all, we felt very well taken care of.

I feel compelled to reach out about the absolutely wonderful experience that I have had with Grant and Patricia Bowlby. I completed the purchase of a boat yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. They were so helpful, kind, and patient. This was my first experience with a broker, and I think I’ve found the best.

I can’t thank Ewan Campbell enough for the super job he did in selling G, making up for my lack of experience in this realm and patiently searching for just the right buyer and a win-win for seller and buyer alike.

It was a wonderful experience selling A with Jeff Cole’s expert assistance. Thank you for simplifying a complicated process. Your patience and kindness are especially appreciated.

I just wanted to thank Jeff Cole for all his hard work. He was very professional and effective.
