The 2011 boating season opened today with the traditional parade of boats, and one amphibious car, through Portage Bay and the Montlake Cut. The parade was sponsored by the Seattle Yacht Club.
This is the Endeavour, a beautiful teak-sided 38-footer based in Seattle.
Next, we have the Amphicar. About 4,000 of these amphibious vehicles were built in Germany between 1961 and 1965. For additional information, go to http://www.amphicar.com, the web site of the International Amphicar Owners Club.
Several steam-powered launches added to the fun.
The Vigilant (NA-10), a NAVY 44, the latest of three generations of offshore cruiser/racers utilized for training midshipmen and women in the NROTC battalion at the University of Washington.
A parade of yachts from various Pacific Northwest yacht clubs.
M/V Olympus is a classic 92-foot wooden fantail motor yacht launched May 14, 1929 in Morris Heights, NY. She is available for charter and travels at approximately 10 knots, powered by her twin Detroit diesels, affectionately named Castor and Pollux.
