CELESTEEL – Custom Waterline Yachts Steel Sailing Yacht

CUSTOM BUILT • STEEL CONSTRUCTION • EXCEPTIONAL LIVEABOARD COMFORT

‘Celesteel’ is an impressive, custom-built sailing yacht designed and constructed by Ed Rutherford and his highly regarded team at Waterline Yachts, one of the Pacific Northwest's premier steel yacht builders. Her hull was fabricated in 1994, with the yacht launched in 1997, representing a substantial investment in quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design and serious cruising capability.

Designed with an emphasis on comfort, volume and extended cruising, Celesteel features a desirable raised pilothouse and an expansive, open-plan interior. Light wood cabinetry, elegant curves, generous windows and multiple overhead hatches create an exceptionally bright and welcoming living space. Her thoughtful two-stateroom, two-head arrangement, extensive domestic equipment and impressive tankage make her equally appealing as a comfortable liveaboard yacht or a capable long-distance cruising vessel.

With twin Yanmar diesels, a 12 kVA generator, Wesmar bow thruster, watermaker, hydraulic sailing systems and an extensive inventory of equipment,

Celesteel is well equipped for extended cruising, the Northwest passage or living aboard.

DECK & COCKPIT

Celesteel is a substantial yacht, and her impressive proportions are immediately apparent when stepping aboard. Her distinctive sugar-scoop transom, raised deck salon and triple-spreader mast give her a purposeful offshore cruising profile.

The spacious cockpit features a teak sole, protective dodger and bimini, providing a comfortable environment for both underway sailing and relaxing at anchor. The central helm pedestal conveniently incorporates engine and bow thruster controls, hydraulic system controls, autopilot and steering.

Wide, secure side decks provide easy access forward to the generous foredeck. A large storage locker located just aft of the windlass provides convenient space for ground tackle and cruising equipment.

INTERIOR & ACCOMMODATIONS

Stepping below, the first impression is one of exceptional volume, light and openness. The raised pilothouse design, generous salon windows and eight overhead deck hatches create an inviting interior that feels considerably larger than one might expect.

The interior features attractive light wood cabinetry, cork flooring, Ultra-Suede headliner and Corian countertops throughout. The open layout provides excellent separation between the living, dining, navigation and galley areas.

The spacious master stateroom is located aft to starboard and features a walk-around island queen berth, generous storage and an ensuite bathroom with a large separate shower, vanity and toilet.

Moving forward from the master accommodation is the dedicated engine and machinery space, providing practical access to the vessel's mechanical systems.

The expansive salon and pilothouse are arranged to maximize both comfort and functionality. To starboard, a raised seating area features two individual bucket chairs, a large settee and dining table. Forward, a generous settee converts to a queen-size berth, with a privacy curtain creating a comfortable second stateroom. A second head is conveniently located forward.

The interior also incorporates a separate laundry area with built-in washer and dryer, along with readily accessible AC and DC electrical panels and inverter systems.
