Notes from the Owners
Welcome aboard!
It is our pleasure for Chinook to continue to accommodate visitors to the San Juan Islands as she has for
many seasons. She became a part of our family in 2018, and we have enjoyed upgrading her systems for
our own use as well as for guests to enjoy. Beneteau yachts are appreciated for their livability and
performance, and there are many reasons why the Beneteau 373 was named Boat of the Year (2005) by the
Cruising World judges. From the bright and spacious saloon, the roomy stand up shower/head
combination, the spacious cockpit with pivoting wheel, and the roomy fore and aft cabins, to the storage
and excellent galley, there are so many features to like about this boat! But looks are not Chinook’s only
virtue. She has excellent sailing abilities in both heavy and light winds. This boat is a lot of fun! We trust
these owner’s notes will get you on your way quickly and easily. Thanks for taking great care of our boat!
