Ritchie Howell – New 61’ (19m)
Enclosed Helm

JUNE 28, 2021

Ritchie Howell continues to produce world class custom sportfishing yachts from his shop in Wanchese, NC. DLBA is excited to be part of his team providing naval architecture and design services including hull form development, machinery layouts, powering and performance development, and deck design. Hull and deck jigs are a big part of the design process, and one that is critical to production.

A new 61’ (19m) Express is being developed which would be Ritchie’s first enclosed helm vessel.  Preliminary design of the enclosed helm is looking great and is truly a collaborative effort between DLBA, Ritchie’s team, and the 61’s owner.  The entire team is expecting the new boat to perform excellently while looking fantastic.
