Title: Herreshoff America 18' for sale
Post by: jimthesailor on July 14, 2011, 01:22:01 AM

I have decided to sell a project boat I recently aquired.  It is a 1980 built by Aquarius.  the boat will need a new rudder, centerboard (i have the templates),   The hull is in very good condition, but the top side gel needs work. 
Rub rail needs replacing as does the remaining wood on the exterior.  Inside cabin is in very good condition, with both bunks, galley, and placefor a head.  It has the interior overhead liner.  It does need all the wood hatch covers replaced.  Also has interior cushions.  Spars are there.  It has a sail, but believed to be from something else.

There is no trailer.

Hi Jim - The boat was built by Squadron Yachts not Aquarius (see the bronze plate you posted a picture of). A couple of resources for you that may get you a better response on the sale for this sort of boat:
