L. Francis Herreshoff was partial to the advantages of comparatively shallow draft designs. He compensated for this factor by employing longer waterlines, easily driven body plans and sensible, moderate-sized rigs and sail plans. The Stuart Knockabout is a splendid example of these basic design principles. She is exceptionally fast and, therefore, a joy to sail. She also has surprising power and is not slowed perceptibly by an oncoming sea. She is comfortable and forgiving, and with every unnecessary piece of complicated gear absent, what is left is an uncluttered, simple, easily handled thoroughbred.

In building each Stuart Knockabout, we have endeavored to preserve the essence of the original wooden boat and advance the comfort and sailing performance in a more forgiving and easier to maintain version. The foam cored fiberglass hull construction is also lighter and permits the addition of 400 pounds of keel ballast, bringing the completed boat to her designed displacement, thereby increasing her capability to carry sail into a good breeze.

Stuart Knockabouts are used in PHRF racing and class racing has taken root on Buzzard's Bay. These easy and wonderful sloops have even been placed on large vessels and mega yachts for a fun daysailing option when at port.

Best of Both worlds

Superyachts clearly have their positives, you can go anywhere there is depth, you are always comfortable and you are seldom at the mercy of the sea. But, sometimes there is a little less intimacy with the elements, there is no substitution for a quiet evening sail where you can have unimpaired interaction with the wind, water and sun. To help get the best of both worlds, the owner of one Luxury Expedition Yacht rigged a Stuart Knockabout on the deck to use in port. Superyacht SEAWOLF is an impressive and historical Excursion Tug that has been converted to be a luxury yacht, she has a varied and interesting history, it is highly appropriate that the Stuart Knockabout, also with an interesting history, is her chosen companion.
