This American catboat is a true classic, designed by the famous Herreshoff lineage. Catboats have beautiful lines that have been depicted by artists throughout history (ie.Winslow Homer). With a large wide cockpit, and a comfortable cabin, this boat makes other 18 footers look small and cramped.

Joe - Nauset   purchased the Harbor Pilot, America, Eagle and Scout molds from Squadron Yachts  in the early 80's. Nauset built a handful of Pilots,America's and Downeasters(Eagles), the Scout never went into production. The America molds were later sold and the Scout,  Downeaster and pilot molds were later scraped do to their poor condition.

So, what was the last Hull # of the Scout ?

18" Herreshoff Scout
« on: February 28, 2011, 01:53:58 PM »Quote ....Hello everyone, I have had a Herreshoff Scout for the last 5 years.  Unfortunately I may have to sell it soon because I may not have anywhere to keep it.  I've searched online for information, but have never been able to find out much about the boat.  The boat is a 1974 18" Scout with original sails.  It has an older model Johnson 6hp outboard.  If I recall correctly it is hull #  005.  I have a title for it.  This forum seems to have quite a few knowledgeable people.  Does anyone know what something like this is worth.  I don't know that I'll actually be selling it, but I'd like to have an idea what it's worth.  I live in Ocean County, NJ.  The boat doesn't have a trailer so I'd probably have to sell to someone locally or someone who has a trailer or can make arrangements to have it picked up with one.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.Report to moderator    Logged

The local expert on these hulls is member Cardinal Joe - who is undergoing a restoration on his Pilot - which uses the same hull as your scout. He is also in NJ and may better know what the market for these hulls are.t found this on another forum on the Herreshoff Registry - i'm reposting it under this america & Scout models forum.......

Can anyone help me with the following questions I have regard my Scout "Freebird" pictured here.  I want to replace both my main and mizzen sails and need the original design measurements.  I know the square footage but I need the measurements because I am not sure if the sails on the boat are correct.
My second question is how do I repaint the booms and masts.  I wish they were wood but alas, they are not.
Final question.  Who manufactured the wheels on the scout.  I am looking to replace the long missing center cap?
Thanks so much.  This sight is a wonderful source of information.

 Who manufactured the wheels on the scout.  I am looking to replace the long missing center cap?

James -I misplaced the measurements on the center hub of the destroyer wheel , can you give them to us again , and I'll find you a center cap for your Scout wheel .

[jjreid2693]

The center cap measures 31/4".  I certainly would appreciate anything you can come up with that will fit.  Also, anything on the measurements of the sails?.  I don't want to just copy the existing sails since they may not be to original specs.  I'm trying to keep this boat in as near original specs as I can.  I think she is something special in her simplicity and I want to keep her "correct".
Thanks again,
James Reid

James - You can call Herreshoff Designs and I would think they have the original specs for the Scott sail plan - 401-396-9971 or e-mail at info@herreshoffdesigns.com. Also, I believe the original sail maker was Thurstons in Bristol, RI - they can be reached at 401-254-0970.

Thanks Adam.  I'm on it first thing Monday morning.  I'll keep everyone up-to-date on my progress.  Thanks again.

James - I order you a Teak Center Cap for your Destroyer Wheel - $10.00 will need your shipping address to know know the shipping cost ..... Joe
