PACIFIC HIGH is a one-of-a kind, long range cruising cutter ketch built by Stuart Boat Works, Fl. drawn by Naval Architect Allen Ericson. Ted Hood + Hood Sailing Systems designed and built the spars, standing rigging and sail handling systems. PACIFIC HIGH was referred to as “Hood’s Electric Boat”. She was designed with all sail handling leading to her handsome, protected pilot house. With those systems she has been cruising and racing from the Adriatic to the Caribbean in comfort for years, often by a crew of two or even single handed. The designers and builder studied and understood the “watershed change” yacht design was going thru in the 80’s. Powerful, broad, flat sections in the hull carried well aft, result in low heal angles, yielding 8 to 10 knot speeds from PACIFIC HIGH’s 60’ waterline.
