How does she do that? How is it possible that a 62′ boat with a hull design from the 20’s gets up on plane within seconds? The answer is that BREAKAWAY is a Huckins with a QUADRACONIC HULL designed by Frank Pembroke Huckins. Frank invented this incredibly advanced hull design in 1928 and his hull design, one of the first truly planing hull designs became a part of the legendary PT series of military watercraft. The hull design was considered to be pure genius. The hull design combined with what might be considered a precursor to the carbon fiber building techniques of today’s world, created a fast and efficient ride that blew everyone out of the water.
BREAKAWAY has benefited from knowledgeable owners who truly appreciated her wonderful attributes as a fine world class cruising motor yacht. Between 1996 and 1999, BREAKAWAY underwent an extensive restoration project at the legendary Huckins shipyard in Jacksonville Fl. During this time, she was repowered with 600 Hp CATS 3176B. Improvements on the lower helm and bridge deck were also a part of this restoration at Huckins. In 2001 she was sent to a Hinckley shipyard for a new galley. 2017 was a great year for a superb gleaming AwlGrip paint job. Between 2020 and today she has received both mechanical and cosmetic upgrades including new Awlgrip topsides (2022), underwater lights, new water tanks, new wiring, new Air Conditioning, new fore deck, etc. As a custom live aboard powerful cruising machine, BREAKAWAY has provided her current family incredible cruising and living aboard memories that will last for generations. Her easy access to the water and a large cockpit area allows her to participate in a variety of water sports. But the time has come for a change in lifestyle. BREAKAWAY never fails to raise heart rates and to cause downright awe and envy whenever she glides by. Perfectly at home on the hook in the islands or having the weekend BBQ at the sand bar, she is ready to go and provide another family with more adventure and stories to tell. Easy to preview in Fort Lauderdale the yachting capital of the world. Courtesy showings and video walk throughs are available.
Grab your bathing suits, a few munchies, libations and head out to explore. BREAKAWAY IS READY!!
