Comments
This is an excellent coastal cruiser with a walk through door
on the stern. Buy or Lease this vessel today! M.V. Gwaii Haanas was built in 1975
for the Ministry of Forests. She was built in sections to a Ed Monk design in
Sechelt, and then shipped to Revelstoke for assembly. The
vessels name at that time was the M.V. KINBASKET FOREST, named for the
Kinbasket Lake near Revelstoke. For the next 18 years, the Kinbasket Forest was
a crew boat that enabled forestry crews to work along the shoreline of the new
lake created by the Revelstoke dam.
She was decommissioned from government service in 1993 and sold to a Vancouver
owner. He cruised her extensively, including a 6 month trip to Alaska. The
Kinbasket Forest was then sold again, being purchased by the Provincial Parks
department for use in the Queen Charlotte Islands; (Haida Gwaii). The Haida
watchmen renamed the vessel the Gwaii Haanas, meaning "Place of wonder"
in aboriginal Haida language, and operated her as a crewing and supply vessel
for their many outstations in the park. The Gwaii Haanas was again
decommissioned from government service in the spring of 2000 and was then sold
that summer.
