Broker's Remarks

40,000 Price Reduction

Titania is a classic wooden yacht designed by William Lapworth. Launched in 1967 and build by Vancouver Boat Works for a family, the Grahams, to sail around the world.

The design brief was a strong, safe and seaworthy yacht with great sailing characteristics capable of fast ocean passages with minimum crew. Immediately after launching originally, "Driver" completed the 1967 Transpacific Yacht Race, then started their successful circumnavigation.  "Driver" returned to Southern California and was acquired by the third owner, a longtime client of Bill Lapworth.

Titania is no project woody. A testament to her engineering and owner's care, she underwent a refit and upgrade beginning in 1990 during which no planks or frames needed to be replaced. “Aorangi”, as she was called at the time, received a completely new interior, new teak decks, new engine, mast, winches, and hardware. Upon completion, her owners enjoyed local cruising.

Under the current and proud owner now, "Titania" proceeded with a major upgrade on instruments, batteries, winch equipment and cruised regularly to Catalina and coastal  SoCal.

A timeless classic with modern upgrades.

Owner's Remarks

"Titania" is sailed and managed with a crew of two. With her Profurl electric jib furler and main sail hoisted via electric windlass capstan, sails are set with ease. She can sail high to the wind and makes 7 to 8 knots with 12 mph true wind on the beam. Her full keel provides true tracking and comfortable state in heavy seas. With the Furuno hydraulic driven auto pilot providing reliable accurate  helming under all sea states. 14kw lithium iron phosphate house bank and 2kw of solar allow her to be self-reliant without the need to maintain a noisy fuel thirsty generator. "Titania" is ready for all sailing passages both near coastal and offshore. "Titania" has Coastwise Certificate for Charter.
