HERRESHOFF FISH CLASS Sloop

The Fish is a husky boat with a roomy hull more like a cruising boat, in some respects, than a day sailer.  She has virtues of stability, rough water ability, good looks, and excellent handling characteristics.

Her distinctive pointed-front cabin trunk (almost a Herreshoff trademark) simplifies the construction and leaves more useful deck space than other styles. The cuddy cabin allows some privacy for use of a head or bucket, and she can have a couple of berths if desired. With the cabin trunk lengthened, she becomes a Herreshoff Marlin– a real cruising boat rather than a daysailer.

Compared to long-ended types she is much drier, and somewhat less expensive for the amount of useful space inside.  She is better for off-season and cold-water use, and generally be a fine, handy, compact boat that keeps the sailing fun even when conditions are less than optimum. 

The Fish sails fast at moderate angles of heel.  She features a large, deep cockpit that is reassuring for folks of all ages and particularly good for couples with small children.

This primarily wood HERRESHOFF FISH CLASS Sloop model is commissioned by its owner.  We can certainly build another model for you.
