New Design: Front Street Shipyard unveils new designs

Front Street Shipyard unveils new sail yacht designs by S&S​

Front Street Shipyard is located in Belfast, Maine and they have new designs that have been unveiled. Sparkman and Stephens were responsible for the designs and are expected to be built in composite materials in the most modern techniques.

The yachts have traditional hull lines and trademark S&S sheers, invoking a classic aesthetic from yachting’s golden era. The construction will be of advanced composite materials using the most modern processes available, making the 118 and 130 powerful and pleasing vessels to sail. This collaboration between Front Street Shipyard and Sparkman & Stephens will be actively marketed to prospective buyers beginning this fall so that construction can commence as early as 2012.

The yachts’ long, graceful lines are paired with large, powerful sail plans on both the 118 and 130. The elegant deckhouse with generous windows dominates the profile. There is both an ample lounging cockpit and a separate working cockpit with an innovative layout, which is maximized for both sailing and driving under power. Wrap-around seats give complete access to the wheel at all points of sail, while the raised centerline helm seat offers excellent visibility due to the expansive, clutter-free main decks and low-profile deckhouses.

The living areas of the yachts are equally spacious and comfort-driven. On the 130, a generous full-beam main salon provides indoor living and dining space for six to eight guests. The 118 utilizes the raised salon as the main living area, complemented by a comfortable half-beam dining room in the lower level. Aft of the raised salon, large master staterooms include settee, desk, and walk-in closet, while two ensuite cabins provide additional sleeping quarters. Forward of the open living spaces on each yacht are service areas comprised of a generous u-shaped galley, crew mess, captain's stateroom, and accommodations. Below the raised salon is a large engine room compartment, with generous headroom. Ample space has been allowed for all the machinery and equipment that is expected aboard modern, state-of-the-art superyachts.
