The Back Cove Downeast 37 has launched and the first sea trial has been completed. Everything is looking great!
Bentley Collins, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Back Cove says, “For lovers of traditional work boat styles, the Back Cove Downeast 37 says “lobster” and for our friends from the Chesapeake she says “Deadrise”. No matter where you do your boating this boat has a look that will turn heads in any harbor that she enters.”
Some of our favorite features? The cabin with island berth accommodates a cruising couple for weeks on end.
The Herreshoff interior is fresh, light and further enhances the open and airy feel of the yacht.
In the engine room, you’ll find a Cummins 480 which will provide a cruise speed of 20 knots and top speed of 25 knots. Our first hull is fitted with a 600 hp Cummins QSC 8.3 engine. In last week’s sea trial, we found cruising performance on this hull of 25 knots and 29 knots at WOT.
