Boat Overview

“NORTH END” is a fast and fun, Downeast pocket yacht. Designed by Mark Ellis and built by Holby Marine in Bristol RI. Pretty from every angle and functional for all intended purposes. Great opportunity to own a classic and manageable boat that turns heads in any harbor.

Highlights Include:

• Bottom just painted & Awlgrip buffed
• Bowthruster
• 20kn cruise, 30kn top end; Modified-V hull provides a dry & stable ride

Design Comments:

Holby’s foray into fiberglass production began in the 2000s with the popular Pilot 20’ and continues with her larger sister the 24’. Mark Ellis designed both and it is clear he used the classic lobster boat as a starting point. Crisp lines and a gentle tumble home over a modified V-bottom with wide chines make the 24’ stable and quick to plane.
