Herreshoff classic yachts

Herreshoff designed some of the most beautiful classic yachts ever built.

These aren’t just boats; they’re floating sculptures crafted with an artistry unmatched by today’s mass-produced hulls.

I’ve owned a few sailboats but never a classic wooden yacht. There’s something entirely different about them—the craftsmanship, history, and sheer presence set them apart from fiberglass hulls.

I’ve collected books on these masterpieces, and the deeper I dive into their design, the more I appreciate them. Sailing has never been just movement. It’s the freedom to wander. Independence from fuel. It’s an adventure. It’s a connection to the past.
