Is this a Herreshoff Design ?

Could it be a Cape Dory Typhoon, designed by Carl Alberg?

[rbgarr]

It's a Bridges Point 24, designed by Joel White. http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=5646 He was inspired by and acknowledged the Herreshoff influence. See p. 138 in the book 'Joel White', by Bill Mayher.

I would have guessed Sea Sprite....There is a BP 24 in my mooring field. I believe hull #2 - was beautifully done - and the owner keeps it very Bristol. They always seemed very similar to Clark Ryders Sea Sprite 23.

Ya know, the discussions here keep getting better and better 

[Cardinal Joe]

Well is it a Herreshoff ?

[rbgarr]

It's a Stuart Knockabout, based on the LFH "Ben My Chree": http://www.stuartknockaboutllc.com/

You'll probably see more of them during your cruise: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Paoli,+Chester,+Pennsylvania&msa=0&msid=214391513126276332741.0004988e95bf19ca7d13b&ll=38.29981,-60.625992&spn=26.445213,123.756866

Nice - Thanks .... I have more pic's of other poss. Herreshoff Boats .

[Adam]

I believe I raced against "Ben" at the 2010 Herreshoff Regatta. She passed us in the light airs....

Adam: That was me on an SK named ZEPHYR.

[Adam]

Ahh...so that explains the beer cans floating by...

FWIW_

Cape Cod Shipbuilding builds the official H 12 1/2 in fg. It has a slight arc to the transom athwartships. Doughdish also builds an fg version, but the transom is flat.

[Cardinal Joe]

So,what are you saying about the above 3 boats

[Adam]

Actually the Doughdish is the only exact replica of the original HMCo. Boats. The Cape cod shipbuilding version has a slight curve to the transome to make it easier to remove from the mold - as well as being quite a bit lighter. Only the Doughdish is accepted for racing by the H12 1/2 association.

As has been discussed - Cape Cod Shipbuilding owns the rights to the WOOD builds of these boats. For more info click the Registry link above and see the documents section.
