Past, present, and future. This is an opportunity to own a piece of floating heritage and to further the story. The Nitinat Chief was built in 1941 by West Coast Ship Builders Ltd. at Vancouver BC. All the fir used in her 12 by 12-inch keel, heavy keelsons, 2.5-inch planking and sawn frames came from logs selected by Charles Sorenson, her first owner. Sorenson built her to exacting specifications to be used to tow logs booms from the Nitinat Lake area in southeast Vancouver Island, over a 6-foot bar-at high tide-and into the Pacific to Victoria. Over the years she’s had more owners, more engines, and various paint jobs. For more of her history: nauticapedia.ca/Gallery/Nitina...
Today, the Nitinat Chief has morphed into a pleasure yacht. She has 3 cabins, sleeps 6 easily, sports a galley to please any chef, and is a bright, airy, lady of luxury. Her entire superstructure was redesigned. The decks are now aluminum. The engine is a 1972 Deutz 500hp. She’s maintained her strength while adopting technology. She’s a blend of tradition, elegance, power, and grace.
Where her future lies has yet to be determined. She might become a charter boat, attracting all kinds from afar. She could become a research vessel, or a mobile office with the addition of Starlink. She could become a home to someone with the imagination to live outside the box. Or, she might become your very next adventure. Nitinat Chief’s future is up to you.
