1932 Custom Classic 76' Motor Yacht The NORWESTER is a unique offering -- a true one-of-a-kind, and for several reasons. She was built by a Massachusetts boat yard that was well-known for large, heavily built, hard working commercial boats. She was custom designed and constructed of the finest materials available. The instructions to the designer and the builder were to create a vessel that would be capable of travel in any ocean, in any weather. Consequently CHIRO was reportedly built to Lloyds of London standards. The yacht relocated to the west coast in 1937 and was later conscripted by the US Navy for coastal patrol during WWII. The current engines were installed subsequently. CHIRO was later purchased by John Wayne (yes, that John Wayne) and renamed the NORWESTER. She was extensively remodeled to meet his needs and it is that interior that remains today. NORWESTER can be used and enjoyed in a variety of ways -- as a classic private yacht that will provide exceptional pride-of-ownership, as a distinctive charter boat, or as a comfortable live-aboard. Or she would make a wonderful and attractive dockside B&B with great appeal. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
