A wolf in sheep’s clothing emerged from the
sheds at New England Boatworks last fall in the form of Predacious, a
65-foot (19.8-meter) fast cruiser designed by Sparkman & Stephens for a
client who intends to run the boat between his homes in Florida and New York.
The sheep comes in the form of the yacht’s genteel New England styling inside
and out. Her main deck is trimmed out in cherry, and her lower spaces feature
traditional white wainscoting above a chair rail and cherry paneling below. The
ensuite master is forward with twin cabins to port and starboard. The ensuite
starboard twin has a Pullman berth for when the children have friends aboard,
and the port twin has a head with a full-size tub for bathing small children.
The wolf comes in the form of lightweight composite construction and a pair of
1,550-hp Caterpillar C30 diesels that give her a top speed of 35 knots.
Predacious is a custom build, but her molds are available for semi-custom projects.
