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.

North Sails and Water Tribe have formed a powerful partnership and are working together on the ‘Free The Sea’ project in order to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our oceans from plastic pollution. Since 2001, Water Tribe has been a leading tour operator in the creation of tourism services mainly related to the world of sailing. They offer a wide range of itineraries and fun activities aimed at young people, adults and families for sailing adventures all over the world.This summer, Water Tribe is sailing around Greece. Sailing enthusiasts and crew members will be involved in awareness-raising activities, including beach cleaning operations aimed at fostering a new sense of understanding and consumer education to change and protect our oceans from plastic pollution. Everyone will be provided with a North Sails bag for collecting plastic waste on the beaches and also a stylish ‘Free The Sea’ t-shirt from our capsule collection. This collection is made from recycled materials, specifically Recover Blue – an innovative yarn created from 100% recycled cotton and PET bottles. During the trips, non- compostable bags and single-use plastic objects, including glasses, plates and, straws, will all be banned on board. Water reserves will also be optimised by using 10-litre bottles that will reduce plastic by 90%. We are looking forward for the next one! #GoBeyondPlastic Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NorthSailsCollection/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/northsails_collection/
