Ordered by members
of the New York Yacht Club and designed and built by the great
Nathaniel Herreshoff & Company, these boats were launched
in 1905 and quickly became the most significant and beloved one-design
class in the history of the New York Yacht Club.
Their impact on the yachting
world has been extensive and the individual histories of each
yacht, remarkable. Today many continue their racing careers throughout
New England and the Mediterranean.
