Enjoy these shots of Ouzel stretching her legs on Penobscot Bay.
"There’s real pleasure in sailing a better-performing boat,” says Tom Degrémont, partner at Langan Design. "...Today was a perfect example: going upwind at 10 knots, tacking through less than 90 degrees with a Yankee and a staysail, and doing 12 knots in 15 knots of breeze while reaching. It’s a great cruising combination and a really pleasurable experience."

A strong showing, and a very good feeling, for a yacht built to put miles behind her.

Ouzel was never meant to sit at the dock.

She has a thirst for distance — designed and built for offshore passage-making, high-latitude cruising, and far-away harbors. She carries the air of purposeful elegance: powerful, quick in breeze, and free of unnecessary complication or clutter.

And, like the nomadic Ring Ouzel, she lives to travel.
We can’t wait to see where she goes.

The story of Ouzel is the story of a team working toward the same goal: to design and build a modern classic superyacht that honored the Owners’ vision and brought out the best in everyone involved.

At 95 feet, Ouzel is a remarkable example of the wood-composite construction Rockport Marine has spent decades refining. She reflects the thoughtful naval architecture of Langan Design Partners, the elegant design vision of Mark Whiteley Design, and the steady project leadership of MCM Newport, who assembled and led the team.

Most of all, she reflects Owners who trusted the process, cared deeply about the details, and encouraged the team to keep pushing toward the best possible boat.
A special project. A special team. A special boat.

SY Ouzel.
