  1. OWNER - I own a Hatteras Yacht
Hatteras Model
36' CONVERTIBLE-Series I (1969 -1977)
Anyone know if the 3 sailing yachts Hatt produced are still floating and around?
 
One was spotted a while back by a member but thats all I head about.
 
saw one in wrightsville beach about 20years ago
 
Pascal spotted one in the Bahamas this past winter. I thought there were four of those, no?

Now, that's a sailboat I'd be real proud to have!

thats what im talking about!! think its the only sailboat i will ever actually want lol
 
Anyone ever seen the 74' shrimp trawler? I was on one in Lauderdale in the early 70's one of those would make a perfect long range boat.wonder how many were made?
 
we were anchored next to one of them of Big Majors/Staniel Cay in the Exumas in april... very good looking boat!

didnt' get a chance to talk to the crew they left the next day.
 
Best information I have is that three were made (I think Walt Frazier told me this years ago) One was for sale on Yachtworld a few years back. Strictly speaking, they are motorsailers. They were designed by Ted Hood, I think, and got good reviews at the time. Hilariously enough, each one contained TWO Detroit diesels- (it's a Hatteras, right?). They were built in HP, I think, and then shipped to New England to be rigged there. At least that's what I recall hearing. The brochure may be on the Sam's web site.
 
When we were down in NC for Hatteras Owners School, a few of us asked Roger W. about the 3 motorsailers. Roger said that there were actually six built. Each of the 3 was built twice. He told us a funny story about part of the refit he was working on one of them. He worked days. His wife worked nights as a nurse at the local hospital in New Bern. He left for work one morning, started working on the motorsailer, worked the entire day. His wife came to pick him up so he would have the car for the evening and he just told her to go to work. He was still busy. After his wife's shift was over, she came back and he was still working on it, approximately 20 hours after he started. Roger had lots of great stories.

Side note was that Roger's family used to own the farmland where the current Hatteras plant in New Bern is located. At one time, he had over 100 family members working for Hatteras. The good old days.

There is one of the trawlers up here in Alaska working as a fish tender. It was owned by a buddy's Dad and named Hanna Cove. I believe it was sold last year and the name changed. To say that boat is stout would be an gross understatement.

You sure wouldn't want one of those Hatteras sailboats if you were trying to win a race. I am glad that Hatteras stuck to what they knew how to do best.:)
 
Yes, I don't think they were great sailers although very well built.

Regarding the fishing trawlers, I think one of them may have been finished out for Dan Blocker ("Hoss" on Bonanza) if I've got it right. Stout? robust? words fail me. The hulls were astonishingly strong, very heavily built boats. I think Jack Hargrave designed a number of commercial vessels in FRP that were equally heavily built, but I am not certain.
 
Hey, I'm a Hatt fan but a Hatt-made sailboat would have the same appeal to me as a Ferrari-made refrigerator! Leave the fridges to folks who know how to make them...like Lucas! :)
 
"the prince of darkness", the reason the English drink warm beer!
 
The reviews on the Hatteras motorsailer were favorable. Honestly, I think they were being charitable. Not one of Hatteras' better ideas, although they were probably very comfortable boats. If I'm going to go slow, I'd rather have a motoryacht and not have to learn to handle all those ropes.
 
They are called lines, Jim, not ropes!!:)
 
On my boat, they are called lines. On a sailboat, they are called all kinds of things- sheets, outhauls, inhauls, overhauls (the kind that go over your head, which is all of them for me), stays, vangs, hawsers, etc etc etc etc. This is why I can't learn to run one of these vessels- I can't even learn the language. And anyway, they are all made of rope. Hey, the company that makes a lot of them is called New England Ropes. So of course they are ropes.

Just pushing your leg, I mean pulling your leg.
 
I thought it was a "rope" if sitting or hanging loose. Once one or both ends were made "fast", it became a "line". The tied down end was the bitter end with the line between you and the bitter end called the bight. All I know...
 
Funny this came up at Greenport last weekend I thought it was like 13 made it was only 3????

If so Jerry was right and I was wrong.
