One of the few great classic yachts for sale, the DIAMOND HEAD is breathtaking with a seductive and awe-inspiring presence.  She is a sleek, historic yacht from the era of millionaire yacht owners, a soulful beauty, inviting nostalgic thoughts of a rich, glamorous and classy era of elegance. Having just completed a 4,000-mile voyage from Seattle, Washington to Cartagena, Colombia, which underscores her strength and reliability, the DIAMOND HEAD has further plans to continue toward for-hire opportunities in the West Indies.  She could be delivered to any part of the Mediterranean for the upcoming sailing season, should a buyer wish.  This would be included in the price.  Her profile has unmistakable beauty.  Her varnished teak cabin and toe rail gleam, and her bronze and chrome hardware echoes back to a different era.  Below decks, her interior accommodations are tastefully appointed with an emphasis on efficiency.  Her large salon windows provide spectacular views from a raised dinette.  Aft, she has a large galley with u-shaped stainless steel counter surfaces and forward, has a spacious captain's quarters. 

DIAMOND HEAD was built in 1938 at the Fellows & Stewart Yard in Wilmington, California to a design by George L. Craig.  Fellows & Stewart was well-known for building high-quality yachts and only the best components were used. The yard reportedly spent years acquiring a cache of long boards for her "single sticker" hull planking which is double-planked Philippine mahogany. Frames are 3" by 3" bent oak on 15" centers. She is fastened with bronze screws. Her deck is teak over pine planking on 2.5" by 3.5" deck beams on 13" centers. Her keel is cast lead fastened with bronze bolts.  DIAMOND HEAD's hull design is a classic full-keel racing configuration with long, graceful overhangs. She has a colorful history as a Transpacific racer, perhaps most notorious for a man-overboard incident in the 1951 Transpac when Ted Sierks, a 40-year-old photographer aboard to document the race, fell overboard 800 miles from Hawaii. After L'APACHE (previous name of the DIAMOND HEAD) and several other boats searched for him in vain, Navy vessels joined in and miraculously found him alive having spent almost 30 hours in the water.

Today DIAMOND HEAD is one of a select few wooden boats for sale having a well- documented past, with over 80 years of incredible history.

DIAMOND HEAD: Maori 64

The maori 64 mixes avant-garde styling with rock star attitude to create one of the most distinctive craft on the water. yachts takes a deeper look at the marco ciampa designed yacht..

diamond head yacht

The Olbia studio of Marco Ciampa is only a short cruise away from the Sardinian yachting hotspots of Porto Rotondo, Capriccioli bay and Porto Cervo. Working on the Costa Smeralda is about as inspiring as it can get for a designer, as many of the world’s most well known yachts anchor there for the summer season. Being surrounded by iconic hulls, Ciampa’s inspiration is evident and with the forward thinking of the Maori Yachts vision, his adventurous concepts for the shipyard make it through to the build stage without question.

AVANT GARDE

For the latest Maori Yacht, the awe inspiring 64, the Italian designer starts the silhouette off with his iconic ‘diamond head’. This distinctive bow treatment sets the avant-garde tone for the rest of the yacht and is a bold design statement. But, that is just the beginning. A pair of red-trimmed sofas make up the foredeck lounge on this 18-metre, with, incredibly, the lines of the hardtop starting from the armrests. Here, the golden lines swoop up towards the windscreen, flanking a huge, red sunpad before coming to an end alongside the hardtop.

The hull lines are equally as intriguing, arcing aft from the diamond head bow to the swim platform, creating a feeling of movement. However, during navigation, the bottom of the large hull windows remain parallel with the ocean, exaggerating the already sporty silhouette. Ciampa really has put considerable effort in matching the 64’s looks to her performance.

As the Maori is 18-metres of aggressive sportster, it was never going to be propelled by a couple of inboard V6s. To match the looks, Maori has two engine options: 2x FPT turbo diesels rated at 825hp each, and 2x MAN turbo diesels rated at 1200hp each. That’s enough raw power to propel the Maori up to 46-knots (with the MANs), while also allowing it to cruise at 38-knots. To top the performance off, the 64 is propelled by JollyDrive surface drives. Not only are they more efficient as there’s less drag, but the result of running propellers that operate half in and half of the water is a huge, guest-pleasing rooster tail at full throttle.

GUEST COMFORT

Thanks to its walk around design, the 64’s layout is geared for guest sharing, with the main deck featuring a large sun-pad aft. Here, the headrests also act as the back rests for the aft sofa. Forward is the lounge, featuring two L-shaped sofas with corresponding tables, where underway, we’d recommend sitting, as at full throttle the mix of horsepower and surface drives mean the ride can be exhilarating. Put it this way, you’ll need to be firmly wedged in with something to hold onto when the skipper’s having fun.

Opposite the helm is lounger, with the sliding door that leads down to the cabin in between. At the bottom of the steps is the master cabin, which is bright and airy, thanks to the aforementioned windows. These are huge for an 18-metre yacht, and thanks to a cream and chocolate colour way, the sun’s rays create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The Maori 64 is basically a concept that the shipyard actually went and built. Marco Ciampa’s design is an adventurous one, with the unique execution of the bow, sun-pad, windscreen and canopy making the big walk around instantly recognisable. Add the full throttle rooster tail from the surface drives and you have a superstar performer on every level.

  2. History | diamondhead

    DIAMOND HEAD is a stunning piece of yachting history. The visionary shipbuilding tycoon George L. Craig conceived of L'APACHE, designing and commissioning her one-of-a-kind construction in 1938 to be his personal "top-notch" highly competitive N-class racing yacht under the Universal Rule design parameters.
