About

MINWAHSIN II is possibly THE nicest example that is currently available of this well-built Canadian cruiser. She was designed by the respected Canadian Naval Architect William Garden and built by Collingwood Yachts. With her inside steering station and conventional aft cockpit with wheel steering and custom cockpit enclosure, you will have the best of both worlds for all weather cruising. The superb visibility and brightness and comfort of the main salon make this a wonderful vessel to cruise on all year round. With her offshore potential she would be equally happy in the heat of the tropics or the coolness of the Great Lakes.

MINWAHSIN II has benefited greatly from being owned by very knowledgeable yachtsmen. Her current owners have, during their ownership, done a number of upgrades and improvements to make her an even more comfortable all-round cruiser. These include but are not limited to:

  • Galley stove and refrigeration
  • Upholstery and curtains
  • Sails and canvas work
  • Custom cockpit hardtop with solar panels and control
  • Hydraulic backstay and rigid vang 

Her design is such that she will cut through the waves rather than slamming into them, a downside to many of today's flat bottom designs. She will point relatively high due to the fin keel and is easy to tack. She tracks well and is easy to steer. She will give a feeling of safety and solid heaviness when under way in heavy air. Bill Garden is a well-known naval architect and the design and her specifications are among the best around. 

MINWAHSIN II is a well-kept and truly turnkey cruiser. We believe that you will be hard-pressed to find a better value in a cruising couples long distance pilothouse cutter.

 

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.

I just wanted to thank Jeff Cole for all his hard work. He was very professional and effective.
