Compadre (II)

Richard Randall states "Compadre is a 43 ft bridge-deck cruiser designed and built by the Stephens Brothers of Stockton, California. This vessel was constructed in 1929 of Port Orford cedar planks over white oak frames for Leland D. Adams, a mining engineer in San Francisco CA USA. Compadre is one of only four Stephens vessels built to this design. Originally powered by twin Lathrop gasoline engines, this vessel is currently powered by twin 80hp Yanmar diesels and cruises comfortably at 9 knots. Her current owners purchased her in 2007 in Northern California and transported her to the Northwest. Compadre is her original name, and this vessel retains most of her original interior layout and cabinetry. Construction materials are Traditional plank on frame. Port Orford cedar on oak frames. House is Burmese teak."
