28' Herreshoff Carpenter

UPDATED: JUNE 10, 2020
This is a great opportunity to own a classic design, wooden boat that is ready to sail with some recommission work, or update and customize. It is a Herreshoff Carpenter, scaled up from the traditional length of approximately 16ft. It would make a perfect day-sailer, or coastal cruiser with some added interior work and updating. An unusual feature is its very easy beaching capability, allowing for easy hull painting or even between-tide picnics.
