Fit For A King
A legend in her own right, Lia Fail will take her owners from the tiny Pacific Northwest town of Anacortes to the ends of the earth.



Article Specs Design
Lia Fail
Master Stateroom
The Continental décor created by Sheila Stevens and Lynn Murphy is quite stately. The main-deck master shows off the makoré and madrone joinery.
Master Bath
Gold finished hardware in the master bath, right, ties in with the textile palette.
Dining Room
Ornate carvings adorn the furnishings throughout, including the salon stools, end tables and arm chairs and the dining table for 10.
Guest Stateroom
A shallow draft was offset by a beam of nearly 30 feet, which created voluminous interior spaces in the four guest staterooms. Notice the repetition of arched passage doors between rooms.
Guest Bath
Beveled glass and carved marble surfaces are used in both the public and private areas, such as this bathroom.
Pilot House
The helm is as modern as any on the water, giving the captain control over twin 1,600-hp Cats that can produce a top speed of 16 knots.
Aft Deck
Despite her somewhat traditional décor, Lia Fail features plenty of casual, comfortable places to gather, including the aft deck which is partly under cover from the extended sun deck.
