M/V TAUTIRA is double planked, with Port Orford cedar construction, bronze fastenings, a blunt bow and raked, teak wheelhouse. She is a custom design originally built for motion picture director, King Vidor as a pleasure yacht for spending time with immediate family and entertaining Hollywood co-stars on weekend getaways to Catalina Island in the early 30s. In 1941, at the beginning of WWII, she was confiscated by the US Maritime Commission and put into service. Vidor later reclaimed her in 1945 from the War Shipping Administration.

Built by Arno Day in 1973, Pamanus has a long history sailing the Salish Sea.  She is 41 feet LOA on a 38 foot hull.  She was refurbished and re-powered in 2011/2013.  She accommodates two in a forward master and offers generous space for cursing in her pilot and coach houses.
