Hatteras 1960-1970's
Based in North Carolina, Hatteras Yachts brand was founded in 1959 by an avid fisherman, Willis Slane, who pursued his dream of building a fishing boat strong enough to withstand the waves off Cape Hatteras and revolutionized the boatbuilding industry with his breakthrough – the first fiberglass yacht of over 40 feet in length.
