** THIS BOAT IS ORIGINALLY LISTED ON “ARTISAN BOATWORKS” **
Description:
The original Buzzards Bay 15’s, were designed by Nathanael Herreshoff in 1898 as his second one-design class, originally known as the “E-Class.” These boats are thrilling sailors. They are fast, stiff, and responsive. The hull is slippery, and even at speed such little turbulence is created that the boat leaves virtually no wake.
The H-15s were among Hereshoff’s most popular creations in their day: 92 were built from 1898 to 1928. A further 25 boats were built to the design in fiberglass for racing at Watch Hill after WW II. Since then, several more have been built by various builders in the USA and abroad.
In 1906 Herreshoff designed a full-keel version of the Buzzards Bay 15, incorporating the following major modifications, all documented in original Herreshoff Manufacturing Co. specifications/drawings on file at MIT:
– All major scantlings increased significantly, to stengthen the boat’s structure
