Hourston Glascraft Island Runner 2001 124 900,00 $ CAD *

Description

Summary
The Hourston Glascraft 26' Island Runner is a west coast classic with a timeless design and hull shape ideally suited to Pacific Northwest waters.  Her Deep Vee solid fibreglass hull provides stability and seaworthiness in various conditions.  This was originally Charlie Hourston's personal boat and is hull #001.  Subsequent diligent owners have protected her with indoor storage and improved her with thoughtful upgrades.  She is perfect for dayboating, weekends / vacations away from the city, or commuting to the cabin in style.  Her current owners have enjoyed many seasons of cruising Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands while continually improving her.  They have moved up into a larger yacht and are now making her available to her next caring owners.
