Christensen Shipyards has recently completed a total refit of motor yacht First Draw. M/Y First Draw was first built in 1995 as M/Y Cacique, and has been updated to both the technical and styling standards of 2012. Everything from two new Caterpillar engines, to the floors to overhead panels has been retouched to make First Draw a first-class yacht. It is currently docked in Vancouver, Washington.
