Moving Day for Hargrave 110 Raised Pilothouse Yacht

The pulse of a repeat Hargrave Custom Yachts customer quickened a little when his upcoming yacht lowered into the water for the home stretch of construction this month. She’s a Hargrave 110 raised pilothouse yacht, leveraging the owner’s experience and a new hull design, too.

Having commissioned a fully custom trideck several years ago from Hargrave, the owner returned for a different design this time. As often happens across yachting, the size and some of the features changed while the project was still in the design stage. For instance, originally the LOA was to be 108 feet (about 33 meters). Yet another change was the styling for the transom, becoming more rounded. Additionally, instead of a beach club, the owner decided a lazarette for extra stowage made more sense. However, it includes a day head, handy for friends and family returning from a dip off the three-foot-deep (nearly 1-meter-deep) swim platform.

The creature comforts aboard the Hargrave 110 raised pilothouse yacht include accommodations for a party of 10. They’re in keeping with what the majority of yacht buyers want these days, especially a main-deck master suite. The open-plan main deck is, too, featuring a saloon and formal dining area. While all guest staterooms are below decks, notably, they’re a mix of kings and queens.

Although the owner’s interior-décor choice remains confidential for now, many Hargrave clients select walnut in collaborating with Yacht Interiors by Shelley. They further request marble to top the dining area sideboards and master stateroom’s nightstands. Marble may also draw more attention to the foyer sole leading to the master suite and the raised pilothouse, where guests can nestle into an observation settee.

One choice that has other Hargrave customers quite interested is the hull. The Hargrave 110 raised pilothouse yacht bears a somewhat wider configuration from Jack Sarin. It’s still for sporty performance, however, pledging a top speed upwards of 21 knots. The twin Caterpillars should also permit a cruising speed exceeding 17 knots. Leisurely, long coastal cruising or island hopping is of course possible as well, since best range should be 2,200 nautical miles.

According to Hargrave, a few further clients are interested in seeing the 110 when she’s done, since they’re considering following in the hull’s footsteps.

Interior carpenters and other craftspeople are working aboard toward the next major milestone now that the yacht has moved into her finishing shed. The official launch and delivery are set for later this year.
