THE YACHT

The Forgotten Art of Craftsmanship

A fixture of elegance on Lake of the Woods for the past eight decades

Gliding across mystic Lake of the Woods, the 85-foot yacht Grace Anne II emerges from the past with her classic beauty and elegance intact. Gleaming mahogany decks and staterooms. Persian carpets and leaded glass. The Grace Anne II will transport you to another era when silverware, fine linens, and white-gloved service were the unquestioned accoutrements on a wilderness excursion. Impeccable service traditions carried over from days when the previous 50-year owner, 3M Company, entertained Fortune 500 executives during exclusive retreats. Welcome aboard and prepare to be enchanted.

As a seasoned hostess to royalty, celebrities, and Fortune 500 executives, the Grace Anne II is the epitome of refinement and uncompromising craftsmanship. From its beginning the Grace Anne II has held onto its philosophy of relaxed elegance. Navigating the pristine, historic waters of Lake of the Woods, the Grace Anne II represents a previous generation's dedication to craftsmanship, quality, and service.

The hull is double-planked mahogany over cedar from the deck line to the keel. Oak frame ribs are through-fastened to planking with copper rivets. The deckhouse, deck, and most of the interior are detailed in dark mahogany.
