SHARK is the one and only 75ā Rybovich cockpit motor yacht ever built and is arguably the rarest Rybovich yacht in theĀ world. She is the ultimate creation of Tommy Rybovich, and was launched as MARGARET. She was subsequentlyĀ named FRAPPE' and then WILDCAT. SHARK and has had one owner for the past 17 years who has spared no expenseĀ to achieve her "tip-top" condition. As Michael Rybovich recently said, the owner has been incredible to work with and hasĀ truly cared for her without regard to costs of any maintenance or upgrade. In addition, he says she's one of the mostĀ unique and beautiful yachts they ever built (one of only five motor yachts) and the largest of the category. SHARKĀ has never needed a restoration and is currently looking like she just came out of the new build shed a few yearsĀ ago.Built of mahogany using the time-honored technique of cold-molded construction, SHARK is an amazing example ofĀ this craft perfected by Rybovich over their storied 104 years in business. The hull topsides are three diagonal layers ofĀ mahogany laid at 45-degree angles, with a total thickness of about 1" with an exterior layer of fiberglass, cloth, andĀ resin. The hull bottom has five layers of diagonal mahogany planking in the vicinity of 1-1ā2" thick. It is also fiberglassĀ and resin-sheathed.SHARK's bow has a recognizable sharp entry, which makes her unique among the fleet and allows her to slice throughĀ calm or choppy sea with a flow and smoothness rarely seen on similar vessels. She cruises at 20 knots and has a topĀ speed of 23.5 kts. Powered by sparkling CAT 3406 engines, which reside in an engine room that could only beĀ maintained at its current level by a car collector. And that's a real fact - the owner has a significant passion andĀ collection of cars, and you can see the attention to detail in the cleanliness, layout, and engineering. It is stunning,Ā with nearly everything looking brand new. A feature that is hard to escape from are the bright LED lights, which areĀ mounted in the bilges casting light up on the engines and other equipment. It is museum-quality stuff.SHARK's interior is comfortable, warm, and beautiful, with soft corners of mahogany woods, contrasted by all-whiteĀ carpets, fabrics, and painted wall panels. The interior is tastefully decorated with colorful cushions, artwork, andĀ historic yachting memorabilia.The helm area on SHARK is a masterpiece of incredible wood craftsmanship. Clean lines and recessed electronics, and shiny gauges are all perfectly placed in this unique bridge. It is truly a captain's utopia with incredible sight-lines and ample side windows which make this an ideal spot to run the vessel from in any type of weather.Ā
