Re: Neat (not Hatteras) Boat
That seems cheap for that boat, although I guess it is a somewhat unusual layout.

Re: Neat (not Hatteras) Boat
I've been on a similar boat, designed by Jay Benford in St Michaels, and they are VERY nice inside, really very well made and very solid and quiet.

Westerbeke Diesel engines. 240 hp. And only 7.6 kw generators. Probably a misprint.

Re: Neat (not Hatteras) Boat
The boater who created Active Captain and sold it to Garmin bought Billy Joel’s old 65’ Coaster, Red Head. We saw her in Key West and months later in Washington DC. They have a real tramp freighter look to them, but not the hull shape. They also look best in the larger sizes IMHO. They were built in Guatemala or Honduras in steel as a semi-custom boat. There was also one that foundered at anchor somewhere in the Chesapeake Bay in a small squall, there was some controversy in the online forums at the time as to whether the cause was stability, seamanship or design. As usual google has the details.
Anyway Red Head at 65’ lwl is a great looking boat, more of a small ship, really.Michael & Beth

Re: Neat (not Hatteras) Boat
I used to know somebody who had one of those. Out on the Chesapeake during a thunderstorm, that top-heavy tub got sideways in a trough and flopped over. The big side windows aren't rated for submerged service, and when they blew in the bay followed rather quickly. The boat went down very quickly. Everybody got out alive, but...
I've been out in Chesapeake thunderstorms in my Chris Crafts. In the worst one, I was anchored and in the salon when the storm hit. The wind pushed me beam-to the waves. It was odd, looking out the salon windows and only seeing the bottom of the trough I was about to go into. But she didn't roll over on me.
