After owning it for 26 years, I am putting my beloved Herreshoff America catboat up for sail. Moving to a more traditional sloop rig. This was a perfect boat for sailing in and around the sandbars in Ipswich and Plum Island sound as it only draws 22 inches of water with the centerboard up. It is great for beach landings and when my children were younger. Boat is in good shape and now out of the water at Greenspoint boatyard in Ipswich MA.
Running lights, depth meter, cabin light, automatic bilge pump, panel with USB connector. New marine battery in 2026 with solar charging. Custom cockpit cushions and Sunbrella v-berth cushions are in good shape. Centerboard was taken off and serviced in 2025. Wooden cover over the centerboard well was completely rebuilt in 2025 with new Sapele marine plywood. Mast repainted in 2026. A new sail from Thurstan was purchased several years ago but it is in good shape including 2 reef points. Gear includes bow anchor, stern anchor, fenders, porta potty, dock lines and stern mounted Magma propane grill.
Includes stern mounted 9.9 Hp Honda Long shaft 4 stroke purchased new in 2015. This boat has a well that can house a 6HP 4-stroke and many owners prefer this. Due to the wind and current where I sail, I decided I needed more horsepower and range, so I mounted the 9.9 on the stern with an adjustable mount. I have sorted the optimal position to keep the main sheet from getting fouled in it. As the motor was primarily used to get on and off the mooring, I estimated that it has less than 200 hours on it. Includes charging cable for a battery.
Two axle trailer included. In 2025, all new bearings, new wiring, new lights, new bunker carpet. In 2025-2026 all new wheels. Trailer is also in the process of getting new axles.
