An old yacht design inspires a new sportfisher.

What do a 101-foot Dutch-built Diaship and a Pacific Northwest 80-footer have in
common? Similar sleek lines, serious fishing capabilities and a well-appointed
interior, to name just a few things. The latest El Lobo under construction at
NorthStar Yachts in Washington State draws much from her predecessor of the same
name. According to the builder, the U.S. West Coast-based owner was looking for
Dutch quality closer to home.
Designed by Apollonio Naval Architecture, the
80-foot fiberglass sportfisher will be the first of a new series for NorthStar.
Extensive model tests projected performance exceeding 35 knots, thanks to twin
MTU 16V 2000s. A wide 23-foot beam provides stability and interior volume for an
open-plan salon/galley, a skylounge and four staterooms. The new El Lobo is due
to launch in fall 2005.
