Doggersbank 63 1974

Introducing the 1974 Doggersbank 63, CONSTANT, available for $695,000 in Seattle, Washington. This steel offshore expedition trawler offers an impressive 3,500 nautical mile range and has earned its reputation as a proven cruiser in the Pacific Northwest. Crafted in the Netherlands, CONSTANT boasts a 50-year legacy as a highly regarded Dutch offshore motor yacht, designed by the renowned Dick Boon of Vripack and constructed by Jongert. At 63 feet (19.20 meters), she was the largest Doggersbank built at the time and the first of her series to be exported, representing a significant milestone in the evolution of offshore trawlers. Built with Corten steel and embodying classic North Sea design, CONSTANT is made to handle the toughest offshore conditions with safety and comfort. Her deep forefoot, full-length keel, round bilges equipped with hydraulic stabilizers, and canoe stern showcase a commitment to seaworthiness, efficiency, and control rather than speed or aesthetics. Throughout her history, CONSTANT has seen real-world adventures. After early ownership in Europe, she was acquired in 1982 by Jon and Ann Bowman from Anacortes, Washington, who enjoyed her for 40 years, exploring Southeast Alaska, the Inside Passage, Vancouver Island, and more. They lived aboard full-time initially and later spent six months each year cruising, favoring remote locations and self-sufficiency. During their ownership, they optimized her systems, remodeled the galley and master cabin, and maintained her to high standards. The Bowmans decided to pass her on in 2021, and the current owner has continued this legacy, investing in her upkeep and improvements while preserving her integrity as a serious offshore yacht. A recent Condition & Valuation Survey from November 2024 confirms CONSTANT is in very good to excellent condition, with no major recommendations, making her fit for offshore service. The hull is Corten steel with exceptional corrosion resistance, a displacement of approximately 171,000 lbs, and a design focused on extended sea comfort. Powered by a Caterpillar 3408 engine and complemented by a Northern Lights 16 kW generator, her systems are robust and reliable. The spacious interior is thoughtfully designed for long-range living, featuring three private staterooms and two heads, ensuring comfort and privacy for owners and guests alike. The pilothouse offers excellent visibility and operational efficiency, while the main salon and galley are perfect for extended living and entertaining. CONSTANT is truly a testament to quality craftsmanship and meticulous care, ready for her next adventure.
