Allan and Sue's Farallon

[Marty Loken (Norseboater)]

Allan and Sue Martin of Olympia have taken delivery of their restored
21' Dorsett Farallon, which was completed in two separate phases. Last year we rebuilt the interior and cockpit area, and more recently we buffed out the original gelcoat, built a new helm windshield, repainted the off-white side accent stripes, replaced a lot of corroded deck hardware, and generally spiffed things up on the outside of the boat.

We're hoping they'll show off their shiny classic at the Blake Island event, Saturday, June 11.

If you haven't met Allan and Sue, they're great folks--sort of like everyone else in this club!

The first photo, below, shows Sue inspecting the Farallon after they pulled the cover off in Olympia. Other images were taken after interior work was completed...and before we started work on the outside of the hull.

Incidentally, while it's not shown in the photos, Allan and Sue had a really well-designed and constructed cover made for the boat--exceptionally nice, and definitely one you could keep in place at freeway speeds. They passed along contact information for the upholstery/canvas shop this morning:

Richard's Upholstery
30 South Bay Road NE
Suite A
Olympia 98506
(360) 786-1866

(Tell Richard he was recommended by Allan Martin...)

Great job and beautiful woodwork ! It's amazing the room in a Farallon almost enough room to live in. If that were my boat I would have to live in it ! Great job to everyone involved and I hope to make it to Blake to get some pictures.
It would be nice to get a shot of the mighty Farallon next to my tiny San Juan !! :cool1:

What Year is the Farallon ?

Allan & Sue : What year is your boat ? Do you have a photo album on N.W.C.B.C. ?

Looks like another beautiful job Marty. I hope Allan and Sue can make the Blake Island trip, I'd love to get a first hand look at their boat.

The only other one I've seen was Chuck's, and I never got to get a look inside because I didn't have little booties to put over my shoes ... VeryBigSmile

The Farallon

Rick -

Allan apparently hasn't checked the forum in recent days, so I'll answer the question: I'm pretty sure it's a 1958 model.

What I didn't show in the posted photos were the beautiful red cushions Allan and Sue had made for the cabin interior and rear-corner seats in the cockpit, together with the custom-fit carpeting. Those really finish things off, and go well with the mahogany.

(Yes, Tim, I really hope they make Blake Island, too. I know they want to--probably launching in Port Orchard--so it's just a matter of whether they have a schedule conflict.)

Tim, Little booties ? I have a box of them. I even carry a portable vacuum for the cockpit rug. Would i kidd you ? Ask GregL. Gotta keep all of that sand and crap off of the rug. When in the shelter i even put down a old double bed sheet over the rug and couple of old car covers over the boat. Chuck

Well, geee ... if I had known you had booties then I would have come aboard!
