Argonaut II, a 73-foot double-ended motor yacht built in 1922, serves as a case study for the maintenance and lifestyle requirements of owning a century-old wooden vessel.1:57 Originally commissioned as a corporate yacht and later operated as a mission boat for the United Church in British Columbia, the vessel remains operational after 100 years.2:07 The current owner reports spending six to 10 hours per week on routine maintenance, noting that day-to-day upkeep is comparable to modern boats, though periodic major structural work—such as replacing wood planks—is necessary to preserve the hull.26:41 The yacht features a 1940-era engine praised for its efficiency and resiliency, a boiler system for domestic hot water and cabin heating, and a 375-foot port-side anchor.5:22 The owner emphasizes that the vessel’s longevity relies on consistent care and the support of a specialized community of classic boat enthusiasts.
