Just launching: Back Cove 390

Back Cove

Oct 8, 2020

Don Finkle of RCR Yachts alerted us to an interesting boat coming soon.

 “As if the introduction of a second outboard model with a fully enclosed salon wasn’t enough, the Back Cove Design Team has just released renderings of the NEW Back Cove 39O with triple outboards!

“More details are soon to follow, but we are happy to confirm that the 39O will be available with double or triple installations from 850hp to 1200hp from Yamaha, Suzuki, and Mercury Marine.”

 The spacious owners’ cabin forward offers a queen-sized island berth and private access to the head and shower. For the crew, two single beds in the guest cabin are secluded, well proportioned, and comfortable.

The new boat will have a 300 mile+ range at cruise, and a top-end speed of 37-knots with triple Suzuki 350 outboards. Optional power installations, currently being finalized, will provide top-end speeds in the 40+ knot range. The 39O hull design will feature Back Cove’s proprietary Trailing Edge Lifting Surface (TRELIS) *D* for optimal handling and performance.

Tooling work is already underway and the first Back Cove 39O will launch late summer of 2020. Her official debut will take place at the 2020 fall boat shows from Newport to Ft Lauderdale.

Here is a tour of the new boat:

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
