You don't see them like this everyday. In fact I don't think you're likely to ever see one like this...

1959 Skagit 20

Wow! Who belongs to this beauty?

I suspect this vessel is a little south of here.

Anything is Possible

This is what it looked like when it first arrived in my driveway back in 2006.

I remember telling my buddy Jim "This is a pretty complete and original Skagit with original factory hardtop, and original glass windshield. I think it's got real potential in the hands of someone who's serious about bringing her back".

Was that ever an understatement!

It seems she went to the right guy...

Jim & Barbara Knowels Are The Proud Owners

They actually own two Skagits. The 20 and a 14. Both impeccably restored.

Barbara J

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the kind words about the "Barbara J" she really is a stunner. We are now enjoying the fruits of our labour and having great fun cruising the inland waters near our home in NSW.

We are really looking forward to our trip in July and hope to catch up with you all on Lopez Island.

You did a great job. I like the fact it's a outboard motor set up now. That had to have taken 1000's of hours and dollars VeryBigSmile

AH! I heard tell of a Skagit 20 that was shipped to Australia! Wow! Nice job!
Beautiful restoration! The mate who put the Barbara J together knows his stuff!:cool1:

I still have your Skagit Boat CLub Australian Chapter patch you gave me. Will have to find a hat for that come July.

See you on Lopez in the Saratogan!
