About

Laja is unique in that she has spent her whole life in the upper Great Lakes. She has had 2 owners, both of whom spared no expense at keeping her in pristine condition. De Vries Lentsch is known for superior craftsmanship & Laja does not disappoint. Luxurious teak joinery work throughout & custom fittings of high quality. The Sitka spruce spars are highly varnished & in perfect shape. The design is full keel, steel plate on steel frames & stringers. The deck is teak planked over steel. A bow thruster enhances handling in marina tight quarters.

Laja has been kept in mostly original condiition with obvious upgrades to electrical & mechanical systems including a Fisher-Panda generator. A SidePower bow thruster was added as well.

The layout features a pilothouse with inside steering & a lounge & dinette area. Large windows offer excellent visibility & ventilation. Step down forward into the U shaped galley with head opposite & spacious forward cabin with 2 single large berths. Ample storage lockers & drawers. From the pilothouse aft is the cockpit with wheel steering & binnacle. A private aft cabin is accessed from the cockpit with en suite & large berths. A recent price reduction makes this fine yacht an exceptional buy. Whether your interest is day cruising, blue water work or simply living aboard, Laja can do it all in style.

Testimonials

George Ayers was terrific to work with over the past few months as I evaluated, negotiated and purchased a CS 30 that Harris & Ellis Yachts had listed in Sarnia. He was patient, thorough and totally professional. I have owned nine sailboats in my 50+ years as a sailor. My experience with George and Harris & Ellis Yachts has been my best boat buying experience to date.

George did an amazing job of selling our CS 30 sailboat. A caring and compassionate person, he went above and beyond our expectations and never stopped working on our behalf to get the job done. We are forever grateful for his dedication to his work. Please let him know how much we think of him!

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Greg. Last October, my husband suddenly passed away due to a heart attack, leaving behind two boats. Greg was instrumental in helping me sell the first boat quickly and at a very good price. As for the second boat, due to my husband's declining health in his final year, the boat had been sitting idle at the dock near our home for over a year. Greg demonstrated the utmost professionalism in cleaning, maintaining, and preparing the boat for sale. He put in a tremendous amount of work, understanding the niche market for this boat, and always kept me informed of his progress without burdening me with the stress of the process. Last week, Greg successfully sold the second boat, and I am very satisfied with the price achieved. His professionalism and confidence in his work gave me a much-needed sense of security during such a difficult time.

Thank you for all your work in facilitating the sale of our dad's boat. Jake and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into it with the many visits, paperwork, etc. A special mention has to go out to Grant for teaching me how to fold the sails!

As first-time boat buyers and as foreigners wanting to buy a cruising catamaran in the US, we knew we needed a reliable broker that had our best interests in mind. John Heintzman was just that, and more! He was extremely committed to understanding what we were looking for, gave great advice, and guided us through the purchase process with great patience and knowledge. All in all, we felt very well taken care of.

I feel compelled to reach out about the absolutely wonderful experience that I have had with Grant and Patricia Bowlby. I completed the purchase of a boat yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. They were so helpful, kind, and patient. This was my first experience with a broker, and I think I’ve found the best.

I can’t thank Ewan Campbell enough for the super job he did in selling G, making up for my lack of experience in this realm and patiently searching for just the right buyer and a win-win for seller and buyer alike.

It was a wonderful experience selling A with Jeff Cole’s expert assistance. Thank you for simplifying a complicated process. Your patience and kindness are especially appreciated.
