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.

► Article complet dans Multicoques Mag n°223 : https://www.multicoques-mag.com/videos-catamaran-trimaran/gunboat-72-les-femmes-a-la-barre ► Ça bouge chez Gunboat ! Finitions du 80 et mise à l’eau du 72, on n’a pas le temps de s’ennuyer à La Grande-Motte ! Nous avons pu découvrir en exclusivité le Gunboat 72 et surtout la plupart des femmes impliquées dans ce projet XXL. Légèrement plus long et plus large que le Gunboat 68 – ce modèle termine sa carrière - le nouveau catamaran est dans le même temps coiffé d’une nacelle plus grande et surtout d’un vaste flybridge, une première ! L’objectif est donc de proposer dans la famille Gunboat un luxueux multiyacht confortable et rapide. Le 72 restera évidemment un catamaran très performant, capable de marcher à la vitesse du vent dès 8 nœuds réels. Comparé au véloce 68, il s’alourdit de plus de 10 tonnes malgré un soin extrême quant au choix des matériaux et la qualité de construction… mais le plan de voilure devrait donner le change : il est plus puissant que celui du Gunboat 68 Racing – 288 m2 au près contre 252, 450 m2 au portant contre 435. A noter : les emménagements sont réalisés selon les desideratas du Propriétaire. ► CARACTERISTIQUES TECHNIQUES : Constructeur : Gunboat Longueur : 22 m Longueur à la flottaison : 22 m Largeur : 9,4 m Tirant d’eau : 1,7/3,8 m Tirant d’air : 32,37 m Déplacement lège : 28,4 t Déplacement en charge : 32,5 t Surface de grand-voile : 170 m2 Solent : 118 m2 Spi A3 : 280 m2 Carburant : 1 300 l Eau : 840 l ► Abonnez-vous GRATUITEMENT à la chaîne YouTube de Multicoques Mag dès maintenant – https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Connectez-vous à notre site Web pour découvrir plus de 500 essais !

Discover Boating summoned the world’s only prognosticating fish, Captain Gill, to forecast what is arguably one of the most highly anticipated predictions of the calendar year—the length of the boating season. Making his first-ever public appearance at Burnham Harbor in Chicago, Ill. on Thursday, August 29, Captain Gill used his shadow to boldly predict whether Labor Day Weekend will mark the end to cruising the open waters this summer, or, to find out if he sees six more weeks of boating ahead. The underwater oracle did not see his shadow, so it’s o-fish-al: SIX MORE WEEKS OF BOATING are on the horizon! Take advantage of the extended season and get out on the water with your friends and family! Check out Go Boating Today tool to find accessible ways to go boating near you.
