NEW BUILD

Herreshoff Fish Class

Custom built by Artisan Boatworks to the highest yacht standard of either traditional wood or wood/epoxy composite construction.

The Fish Class is and enlarged version of the ubiquitous Herreshoff 12-1/2, with the same virtues of stability, rough water ability, good looks, and excellent handling characteristics. While she is only  4′ longer than the 12-1/2, she has twice the displacement and thus, in real terms, is twice as big. 

The cuddy cabin allows for storage space and some privacy for use of a head or bucket, and she is generally a fine, handy, compact boat that will  keep the sailing fun even when conditions are less than optimum. She will sail fast at moderate  angles of heel, and like her smaller cousins features a large, deep cockpit that will be reassuring for folks of all ages and will be particularly good for couples with small children.
