     An opportunity to own a timeless classic in the Great Harbour line of trawlers and this N37 comes with features and a history that no other Great Harbour can boast about.  This vessel has been maintained impeccably over her years and is ready to cruise immediately.  A few words about "Pickette's Pub" from her builder and creator, Ken Fickett:“Pickette's Pub”In late 2000 I imagined a new design based on the very successful Great Harbour 37 hull. This would be a much easier to build boat with all of the best features of a GH37 without the complexity of so many fiberglass parts and with a real walk-in engine room. As a designer of boats and aircraft I am one of those guys that manages to get sea sick and air sick! I wanted a driving position considerably lower to the water with a lower center of gravity than the GH37 has. I wanted a boat that would be comfortable in most any sea state that could cross oceans.“Pickette's Pub”, then “Semper Fi”, as many of our company boats are named, was built by a very select crew of craftsmen with their work being constantly managed by me. We were building this boat for me and my family. There were numerous totally unique features that were never repeated in any other N37 since the costs were prohibitive. Interior pocket doors with custom hardware, spectacular “ceiling strips” that grace the sides of the hull in the master stateroom and the guest cabin, all inset doors and drawers instead of simple face drawers and doors finished of a look that is totally classic. I wanted a vessel that would defy an age description, a timeless boat.She was shown at the New Port Rhode Island Boat Show after making a trip to Bermuda from Jacksonville, Florida that was chronicled by George Sass in Yachting Magazine. She was the hit of the Show. From there it was to Annapolis for the Grand Daddy of US Shows. At Annapolis arrangements were made to send one of their writers on a historic trip in January of 2002. She was the first American vessel allowed into Havana Harbor without being “under gun”. That moment was forever captured on the cover of the June 2002 cover of Passage Maker Magazine and written about as a major story. Semper Fi (Pickette's Pub) came to Miami for the Miami Boat Show where it was picketed by anti-Castro protesters. Very exciting times in a very exciting boat!After the Miami Show Semper Fi (Pickette's Pub) settled into a less hectic life that my family took advantage of with numerous Bahama trips, cruising Florida and extended trips to the keys. Looking at her today she is definitely better equipped then when she was new. I would leave tomorrow for the Bahamas, Bermuda or the Great Loop. I miss her….Ken Fickett
