Herreshoff New York 30 Sloop 1905 New York 30 Sloop 1905

According to legend; NY 30 owners sailed under full canvas even in 40 knots of wind. This design surely performs well in wind and waves - making the NY 30 probably the most seaworthy of Herreshoff’s One designs. If the New York Yacht Club wanted a racing class suitable for strong winds then the Wizard of Bristol fulfilled their expectations in full.

In the restoration the shipyard followed Herreshoff’s original plans exactly - from the timber used, her rig and her interior to the bronze fittings on deck. A period piece she may be but one that can win on the Classic Regatta Circuit sailing with just friends and family.
