Project Ouzel is a 95-foot cold-molded composite pilothouse sloop developed from a blank sheet to the experienced owners’ brief — a yacht equally at home on coastal passages and far-flung offshore voyages. The design balances a contemporary classic aesthetic with modern performance, including a 12-foot deep performance cruising keel developed through an extensive concept and engineering process documented in our news updates below.

Built by Rockport Marine and managed by MCM Newport, Ouzel was completed in 2025 with an interior by Mark Whiteley Design and structural engineering by SDK Structures.
