and classic Carolina-built features,” summarizes Mitchell. For example, there is a lot of technology you can’t see in the final product. He adds, “all of the cabin sides and cabin tops are constructed of lightweight core material with specific densities of core in strategic locations. These are sandwiched with E-glass and vacuum infused for a high strength-to- weight ratio.” Undoubtedly, the build team is already putting techniques developed for the Jaruco build into play on some of their subsequent hulls. Immersed in natural light thanks to nearly 360-degrees of windows, the interior of Privateer hosts luxury appointments throughout. Entering her main salon and helm area through double sliding doors, the maple and teak woodwork and classic décor offers a warm welcome. Creature comforts are situated at every level, including plenty of seating, a wet bar, sub-zero refrigerator/freezer and Kohler fixtures. Mitchell also explains that the engine room was designed to make her many systems as accessible and easy to maintain as possible. Based out of Charleston, South Carolina, the Privateer will also frequent South Florida with trips to the Bahamas and other Caribbean islands. In addition to the primary helm station and electronics suite on the interior, a pop-up console is built into the port-side cockpit mezzanine. Outfitted with chart plotter/fish-finder and Cat Three60 controls, this auxiliary helm is perfect for operating the vessel while docking or fishing. These modern conveniences are smartly tucked away in an overall aesthetic that would feel right at home for early Downeast boat building pioneers such as Myron “Ace” Harris or Ray Davis. (Ray is grandfather to long-time Jarrett Bay superintendent Gary Davis, by the way). Generations of learning and innovation may have replaced the Juniper boards and hand-cut frames of these influential mentors with today’s Okoume plywood and CNC-plotted jig stations—but it’s still all about skilled craftsmen bringing the best materials to life to form a superior quality boat. According to Ramsey, that’s what it means to be building “offshore’s new classic,” a melding of historic design qualities with all the modern features of tomorrow’s sporting yacht. The result is another world- class yacht which is custom tailored to her owner’s every whim—exactly how the crew at Jarrett Bay has always liked it. 84’ CONVERTIBLE Hull #60: Reel Development 68’ CONVERTIBLE Hull #64: Project Caribbean IN-PROGRESS CUSTOM BUILDS AT JARRETT BAY 64’ CONVERTIBLE Hull #65: FOR SALE 67’ CONVERTIBLE Hull #66: Sea Wish 56’ CONVERTIBLE Hull #67: Renegade JARRETT BAY 67 LOA: 67’ 3" Beam: 18’ 2” Draft: 4’ 9” Fuel Capacity: 1,320 gal.
