Helmsman 2023 Rendezvous – Port Townsend

Helmsman Trawlers 2023 Rendezvous Replay

Helmsman Trawlers® was delighted to gather owners together once again in Port Townsend for the 2023 Helmsman Trawlers Rendezvous. Owners arrived by keels and wheels at Point Hudson Marina for a weekend overflowing with friends, food and festivities. It was a joy to reunite with past attendees and a pleasure to welcome new Helmsman family members.
 
We were charmed with nice weather for the entire rendezvous weekend, experienced fine local food, wine/beer, music, ice cream treats and even took in more fun with the Rhododendron Festival which coincided with the Rendezvous weekend.

Helmsman Trawlers + 2022 Rendezvous = So Much Fun!

Helmsman 2022 Rendezvous Highlights

Helmsman Trawlers was thrilled to bring owners together last month for the 2022 Rendezvous. We had owners arrive by keels and wheels to Point Hudson Marina in Port Townsend for a weekend filled with friends, treats and fun.

We were fortunate to have a beautiful weather weekend, experienced good local food, music and even had a chance to take in the Rhododendron Festival Fun. It was a great way for our Helmsman owners to get together, talk boats and cruising.

Helmsman Trawlers looks forward to returning to Port Townsend in 2023 to meet with friends new and old.
Until then enjoy cruising.

Cooking Aboard: Good Design Makes for an Enjoyable Experience

 

Cooking Aboard A Helmsman Trawlers: Good Design Makes for an Enjoyable Experience

As any boater knows a successful cruise relies just as much on keeping the crew well fueled as keeping the vessel well fueled. Cooking while underway should add to the overall boating experience – not be a draining chore. 
 
Helmsman Trawlers® understands the importance of a good galley to making cooking enjoyable. We pay special attention to the layout and features found in our galleys. The result? Cooking and eating aboard a Helmsman Trawlers® becomes a part of the overall pleasure of a boat trip!
 
Durable and Gorgeous, with Minimal Maintenance
 
Step aboard a Helmsman Trawlers® and you’ll find an inviting space rich with warm woods, thoughtful lighting, and a perfect layout for cooking and entertaining. Plus ample storage with plenty of drawers, cabinet space and removable cushions in the settee that reveal storage lockers. There are also additional cabinets throughout the salon.

Additionally, the windows in the galley space all open, a feature not found on all motor yachts. This allows for fresh sea breezes and great ventilation.

We aim to make time spent aboard focused on the cruising experience, not worrying about if this or that is working right, or what sort of attention a boat element may or may not need. In galley design we’ve chosen components that combine durable, long-lasting beauty with minimal maintenance requirements.
 
Countertops: Elegance Made to Last
 
On Helmsman Trawlers®  the countertops are made of Caesarstone®  quartz mineral. With quartz being the hardest stone surface, even harder than steel, these countertops are sure to withstand the test of anything encountered while underway. Additionally, Caesarstone®  countertops are nonporous, non-toxic, require no sealants or wax, and do not host bacteria, mold, or mildew – so they remain safe and hygienic, leaving you more time to enjoy cruising and less time cleaning. The galley counters are edged with teak fiddles, to contain spilled liquids and which serve as convenient handholds when necessary.

Caesarstone®  also enables great flexibility in surface design with a wide variety of patterns, various finishes, and rich colors to choose from – a customization that helps you make the galley feel all your own.
 

Dependable Galley Components

In choosing galley components we opt for proven design. For example, the Force 10 propane range and oven is a reliable, classic standard built from stainless steel.

The force 10 range and oven.

Our standard galley includes:

  • A propane Force 10 galley range, with the option to substitute a Kenyon electric induction cooktop or a Miele propane cooktop and with a Samsung convection oven/microwave,
  • A microwave, if the convection oven / microwave is not selected,
  • Nova Kool 9 cubic foot refrigerator/freezer,
  • A Moen 1.5 basin sink with teak wood coverings, with an option to choosing a single basin to maximize counterspace.

Whether it’s boiling up fresh caught crab on the stove or putting together simple sandwiches on the go this galley is well-equipped for all your dining needs.
 
High Quality Woodwork 
 
The fine teak woodwork found aboard Helmsman Trawlers®  is something we really take pride in. It requires great time and attention to accomplish. Our teak is varnished with many layers of two-part hand brushed varnish, resulting in strength and water resistance – not to mention lending a warm, comfortable feel to the interior of the vessel.
 
The salon table is also composed of this durable teak and when folded out reveals a gorgeous compass rose inlay. The table, combined with the seating arrangement, makes for an overall inviting and comfortable dining and relaxing space for you and your guests.

Ready to Get Cooking?
 
Our well-thought-out galley is just one factor that makes cruising aboard a Helmsman Trawlers®  a superior experience. Reach out to us today to learn more and soon you too can enjoy cooking your favorite meal at your favorite boating destination.
