Hatteras Sail boat

[wiredup]

Not sure this would be the correct forum but does anyone know if the only sail boat Hatteras made is still operational ? If so where it might be Thanks Kurt

AFAIK they built 3 of them. A 65' Ted Hood design - T-671 GM power!

I saw one for sale in the Med .

Never heard of such a thing. Looks pretty nice.


I wish they made the Alden Hawksbill....the only boat with a sail I've ever really wanted:

Every once in a while you see one of the three for sale on YW. I think one might be in Europe, or was at one time. I've never seen one in the actual.

I don’t remember if it s 3 or 4 that were build. Nice boats. I ve seen a couple of them over the years. One of them, Akoola, was in FTL a couple of weeks ago

i'm pretty sure a local guy in mississippi just bought that alden hawksbill. i saw it at the boat yard today, re doing her from top to bottom. she is completely gutted right now

Pretty sure they had two 4/71s and years ago I saw the engine room which had no room.
I believe I saw one at Jerrett Bay Boat Works in Beaufort NC last year on the hard.

Wow, that's great news. Wonder if it's a wood or one of the few glass boats they made? Good to know there's so many of us admiring the classics, and restoring them, in a world full of plastic junk.

Damn she is a beast... I wonder how she sails.

 

[wiredup]

Good to know sounds like she's still around. Would love to see her. If your buying a Hatteras is it really a sail boat ?

 

[jim rosenthal]

Each of the three boats they built had two DD engines. I think it would be called a motorsailor.

I like it as well. Interesting boat. The Nordhavn 56 Motorsail is interesting as well. Great for open water but I would hate running the ICW with that Mast

she is fiberglass hull with wood decks, the front 8 feet or so of the deck was rotten due to the very large pulpit leaking water into the deck, that part has been removed and being replaced.. the guy that bought her is VERY capable of rebuilding her or having her repaired by someone else

I saw one in wrightsville beach probably early 80’s. I first noticed the salon windows were the typical period aluminum frame Hatteras windows. Then I saw the cheesy AMF plastic nameplate that replaced the original check plate. If you see one IRL it definitely has the Hatteras look not overall appearance but certain details like the windows and such. I’ve heard from some of my snobby sailboat friends that word was it didn’t sail well.

Ted Hood designs generally sail very well and this design is rather similar to some of his later Little Harbor designs that are solid performing cruising yachts. The 65 Sail Yacht is not a light air boat (way too heavy) but I'd bet that she is extremely capable offshore.

In the interest of disclosure, I tend to like sailboats built by powerboat makers as I own a 32' Chris Craft Cherokee sailboat (an S&S design) that sails very, very well.

Don't forget the Bayliner Buccaneer!
