"Astrocyte", is a one-off William Garden offshore cruiser design. She was built in 1962 by the well-known shipwright, Charles E G Gould, in West Vancouver. After building the boat, Gould took the boat around the world in the mid-60s to the late 70s - this was well documented in Pacific Yachting Magazine. She is now with her fourth set of owners who have kept her in, like her previous owners, in like-new condition. Over the years she has undergone multiple refits the most notably in 2012 for over $140,000.00usd. All work was performed by Port Townsend Shipwrights who are well known in North America to be amongst the best. The owners have all receipts, logs of work performed, and all the original drawings and plans.
