I often hear from builders in the industry today that vessels of ‘classic’ design no longer appeal to today’s prospective customer’s, that the people who once appreciated conservative styling are slowing fading away. However, after reading social media forums recently it is reassuring to learn from a large population of experienced boaters that indeed timeless design remains in vogue.
The 58’ Hatteras LRC is a testimony to functional design that demonstrates a fine balance of form and function, combining attractive lines with the attributes of a true offshore capable vessel, rather than a dock side condo. The late naval architect Jack Hargrave, who penned some of the most beautiful vessels (many of which are sought after today) that have graced the waterfront, was responsible for designing the yachts that Hatteras manufactured in an era when their vessels were considered the basis from which others were measured.
