A modern classic reimagined, this 2014 build honors Herreshoff’s traditional Buzzards Bay 15 design with a length overall of 24'.

Construction & design

Built to museum-level craftsmanship, this cold-molded hull is inspired by Herreshoff’s original 1890s BB15, marrying tradition with enduring strength and stiffness. A full keel and classic long overhangs create reassuring poise and a soft, unhurried motion, while the fine-entry bow slices cleanly through chop for a drier, smoother ride. The traditional cockpit layout is accented by varnished interior trim, and the timeless white hull is finished with authentic aesthetic details that quietly broadcast pedigree and purpose.

Sails & rigging

A traditional gaff rig crowns the profile, with standing rigging in excellent condition and running rigging updated as needed for reliability without compromising classic character. The mainsail and jib are included, clean and fully serviceable, inviting easy, confident days under canvas. Bronze hardware and classic fittings complete the picture, blending functional integrity with enduring beauty.

Cockpit & deck

A spacious, open cockpit invites relaxed day-sailing, with varnished coamings and trim lending a warm, classic glow. Beautifully maintained brightwork complements easy-to-manage sheets and controls, so every maneuver feels intuitive and composed. Bronze cleats, fairleads, and traditional deck hardware provide tactile satisfaction and lasting durability in every detail you touch.

Use case / lifestyle

Equally suited to elegant afternoon sailing, unhurried harbor cruising, and spirited regattas, this is the wooden classic for those who desire heritage without the burden of a century-old hull. She is a collector-grade vessel that turns heads under sail and at the dock alike, delivering smooth, quiet passages and standout performance when the breeze is gentle.
