Stormy Weather Takes Bayliner Boat Aground in Port Townsend

A nine meter Bayliner sport cruiser ended aground during stormy weather which hit the East Jefferson County on Tuesday 25 October.  The Bayliner was swing moored in Port Townsend Boat Heaven, and ended on top of the breakwater of the US Army Corps of Engineers.  The sport cruiser was reported unattended, with no injuries being reported for this grounding. 

The Bayliner in this grounding is a a 3150 Conquest as produced from 1978 till 1980, with the model evolving into the 3250 Conquest in 1981.  The Bayliner Conquest was a sport cruiser ahead of its time, and an important stepping stone in creating the medium sized sport cruiser which dominated the thirty to forty foot US market in the eighties and nineties.
