Woodies – Part 1 – Arrow 39′

A few months ago, I realised that it had been a while since I had designed a wooden boat. I mentioned this to Adam Younger and we came up with a set of designs for a couple of wooden fast day boats. Combining classic looks and very modern fast hulls (hulls designed by Adam) we felt that there might be an opportunity to do some pretty boats that were capable of some ferocious speeds. Sharing the same hull lines as the recently posted Aquila 39′ but built either solely in wood or having a wooden deck and a composite hull. The images depict versions that are solely wooden. Some images show a traditional mahogany finish, but some show a darker wood, probably using stained wood; creating, in my mind, a boat that is both traditional and yet with a more contemporary colour palette. It would be interesting to see which version is more popular! Powered by twin petrol or diesel engines and capable of speeds in the 60 to 70 knots, probably. This Arrow is 39′ or 11.8M in length. With a forward cabin with sleeping amenities and a compact head. The cockpit has a fridge and BBQ sited in the furniture units.
