Shorleave Yes. The family who designed, built and initially cruised Shorleave follow her from time to time. Shorleave, the name and the vessel have a very special place in our hearts.

Shorleave was, specifically, designed and built for long range, off shore cruising. As the original owner, I would be happy to fill in and correct some info on the concept, design, etc of Shorleave. She was our dream come true.

My, now deceased husband, and his father (home builders by trade) bought the Skookum molds and designed the Shorleave trawler. It was built in Port Townsend and finished and launched in Snohomish, WA before our family set off to cruise the Caribbean (not Alaska) for a period of 7 years.
