Synopsis

The name Herreshoff is synonymous with classic yacht design, including small boats like this one. Here Mystic Seaport's boatbuilder describes how he applied a Herreshoff Manufacturing Company employee's experience to the construction of a replica 11-1/2-foot Herreshoff sailing dinghy. Now in its fourth printing, this very popular book is a "how to" guide and an appreciation of traditional boatbuilding skills.
