Marian II (II)

Diane Lander states "The Marian II was built in Seattle at the Lake Union Dry Dock Company in 1928.

She is still moored there in a boathouse located very close to where she was launched. Marian II was owned by Herb and Virginia Cleaver, founders of the Pacific Northwest Fleet of the Classic Yacht Association for nearly 50 years. During the Cleaver’s ownership, they started the tradition of boating to University of Washington football games by taking the Marian II over near the stadium, tying up to a tree, and wading to shore. Later, UW built a huge dock for tail gating and boating to football games at UW is a huge tradition in Seattle. Current owner, Diane Lander, bought the boat in 2014 after owning the MV Olympus, a 1929 97′ fantail motor yacht, for nearly 23 years. Diane has impeccably maintained Marian II including a new keel and bottom in 2017-2018, interior improvements including new refridgeration, new starboard seating area, a fabulous teak table, and this year a new diesel heater/hot water heater. As always, the boat has received multiple coats of new varnish and this year the hull and bottom were painted."
