It seems hard to believe it took so long for this magnificent vessel’s preliminary drawings to be given form. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/724/WOLFHOUND Perhaps the most authentic expression of John G. Alden’s highly successful fusion of the American fishing schooner as pleasure yacht, her 1927 design date parallels his most successful period in fast cruiser design, when his MALABARs ruled the waves. After gathering dust at the John G. Alden office for almost 90 years, along came an individual with the knowledgeable passion and vision to bring Design No. 347 to life as WOLFHOUND. All executed by the best possible people, including naval architect Niels C. Helleberg who began his Alden design career working beside the man who had originally drawn her lines. For her hull builder, Graafship, it’s the first time they’ve built a genuinely new classic schooner instead of a replica, and she was a labour of love for her finishing craftsmen. Since completion in 2021, WOLFHOUND already has two Atlantic crossings under her belt and a period of extensive Baltic cruising, all crewed by family and friends, and is very well-proven. Vindication of John Alden’s minimally crewed dream yacht for exploration adventures beyond the horizon: WOLFHOUND’s brave, wholesome appearance - very different from the replicas built for the classic regatta circuit - shouts this.
