Design / Build Details

Hull Design by C. Raymond Hunt and Associates.

Built by Alden Yachts in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

The hull is hand-laid cored fiberglass with structural stringers engineered for light weight and strength.

The deep vee hull with 22 degree deadrise from C. Ray Hunt is the legendary performing hull form used by the finest pleasure craft as well as military and pilot boats. The Hunt planing hulls are renowned for their soft ride and the ability to get home in any conditions.

The deck and interior were custom designed for the original owner and hand built by New England's finest craftsmen and outfitted with quality and longevity in mind.

Angus III is built to ABYC standards and American Bureau of Shipping standards.
