A few years ago, Dick Avery, of Avery's Boathouse and Charter in St. Thomas, USVI, set out to design a perfect cruising boat for a couple whom might have occasional guests. Calling on their many years of experience in the charter business, Dick Avery and his wife Marianne designed and built their dream boat, "Cranberry Gull", using a proven "Downeast Maine" semi-displaced Hull. In 1995, my wife and I finally had the opportunity to spend two weeks, by ourselves, on "Cranberry Gull" cruising the Virgin Islands. To make a long story short, this was, bar none, the best cruising boat we have been on. "Cranberry Gull's" layout could not be faulted. The planning and experience that went into this boat certainly paid off. The boat is roomy and spacious and has ample storage for those who have the good fortune to be able to spend longer time afloat. She's easy to handle, runs well, and has a good turn of speed when it's needed but, above all, it fire's the imagination! It is easy to imagine cruises on the coast of Maine, the Chesapeake, leisurely trips down the Intercoastal, across to the Bahamas and Caribbean maybe even over to Europe, the Canals, the Med..... Now, with Dick's guidance, working with our own in-house designer, we are ready to introduce The Wilbur "NORTHERN STAR", a 42' cruiser. Not a plastic boat for the masses, but a handcrafted, heirloom-quality, rugged yacht. This yacht is for the selected few that have a sense of adventure.
