DESCRIPTION:
Doghouse was conceived and built by an experienced yachtsman in partnership with the design team at Sparksman and Stephens and the construction team at New England Boatworks. Her many features include a shallow draft, long range, seakindly hull, planing speeds, extensive sound insulation, redundant equipment and low-maintenance exterior - all desirable traits for extended remote cruising in the Bahamas, lower Caribbean and New England waters. Sparksman and Stephens designed a Downeast-style yacht above the waterline, with a modern chined planing hull, moderately-deep propeller tunnels and centerline skeg to fully protect the props. She was custom built by New England Boatworks, experienced builders with a variety of high-tech racing and cruising yachts to their credit.
Additional Information
FROM THE DESIGNER
The hull form and appendages draw on the experience of Sparkman & Stephens in the design of fast, seaworthy motor yachts. Starting at the graceful sheerline, the hull shape draws on the Northeast tradition of working vessels intended to face the challenges of the sea. The forward topsides have an appropriate flare to keep the deck dry while running, while the aft topsides are drafted slightly outboard akin to a working vessel. Below the water, the hull form is a completely modern, chined planing hull, featuring a modified warp and aggressive buttock angles. The vessel is fitted with two moderately deep propeller tunnels whose shapes have been optimized to meet the owner's draft requirements while maximizing propulsive efficiency. The propellers are further protected by a centerline skeg that extends 6" below the propeller tips, yet still the boat has a draft of only 3 feet, 3 inches.
