Hatteras Yachts Introduces New 60 Convertible

Brand New Design Features Resin-Infused Hull, Tournament Edition Option

May - 2006 -- Hatteras Yachts is pleased to announce an exciting new product that solidifies this legendary boat builder’s position as the industry leader in high-tech sportfish design. Featuring a mezzanine cockpit, lightweight construction, tumblehome curvature in the hullsides and an exciting new tournament edition, the Hatteras 60 Convertible is unlike any production boat in the marketplace today.From the beginning of this model’s design process, the Hatteras product development team has focused squarely on performance and fishability as top priorities. As such, the new 60 Convertible represents a paradigm shift for the company. Built in Hatteras’ new facility in Swansboro, North Carolina, the 60 will be the first Hatteras to feature a completely resin-infused hull, rather than one built up of layers of hand-laid fiberglass. The resin-infusion process produces a more uniform hull thickness from one hull to the next, as well as the most ideal glass-to-resin ratio possible. This one-two punch produces a boat that weighs significantly less because of the lowered resin content, while providing a more precise fit of bulkheads, stringers and other components for increased strength and durability.
