Helmsman31
Newbie
We have just completed our first cruise throughout the San Juan Islands in our new Helmsman 31 Trawler. The beauty and serenity of the Islands is unmatched. Our moorages in Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor were delightful. And, our Helmsman 31 lived up to every expectation we had for performance and comfort.
The Helmsman 31 performs and feels like a much larger vessel due to its classic "Camano" hull and superb interior design. The 270-hp Hyundai diesel performed flawlessly and was very efficient. Our cruising speed was 7.5 to 8.5 knots for most of the cruise. Needless to say, we will be cruising the San Juan Islands again sometime soon. Now that we have experienced the performance and comfort of the Helmsman over a multi-day cruise, we are aiming for longer cruises to the North with a goal of visiting Bella Bella next summer.
