Herreshoff 28 Ketch

Deceased estate, This classic ketch has not been used for some years and is suffering from neglect. The engine has not been started since the batteries died. It needs to be antifouled and the engine serviced.
Internally the upholstery and varnished cabinets are in great original condition. This is a project for someone with the time to restore her and gain a great classic cruising yacht at a reasonable cost.
