Classic elegance meets modern construction in this beautiful fractional sloop that carries forward the legendary Herreshoff design legacy. Built by Bristol Boat Company starting in 2010, this 19.83-foot yacht features cold-molded wood construction with fiberglass reinforcement, combining traditional aesthetics with contemporary durability. The design showcases quintessential Herreshoff proportions with a long keel configuration that provides excellent tracking and seaworthiness. At 2,950 pounds with 1,625 pounds of ballast, she offers reassuring stability for coastal cruising and day sailing. The fractional sloop rig with 212 square feet of sail area delivers respectable performance while remaining manageable for smaller crews. Her comfort ratio of 19.75 indicates a relatively stiff, performance-oriented boat that won't hobby-horse in choppy conditions, while the capsize screening formula of 1.91 suggests good stability characteristics for protected waters and near-coastal sailing. The long keel design enhances directional stability and provides a forgiving sailing experience, making her well-suited for sailors who appreciate traditional handling characteristics. This modern interpretation of classic Herreshoff styling appeals to sailors seeking a quality day sailer or weekend cruiser that honors maritime heritage while incorporating proven contemporary construction methods.
