Herreshoff H28 Ketch Rigged
This is a beautifully kept traditional Herreshoff H28 ketch. Bronzewing has had many upgrades during the current ownership including a Yanmar 20hp engine, new rudder, new keel bolts, new deck and dyneema rigging. She presents in good condition for a 1956 yacht and oozes that traditional charm you only get from a classic timber yacht. The Herreshoff H28 is also regarded as one of the best small open water cruisers with many of them found all around the world. Perfect for bay or lakes cruising and then venturing out for longer offshore voyages. The sails are in very good condition, 2025 Dyneema Rigging and new Profurl Furler, the 20 HP Yanmar serviced regularly will push her along easily at 7 knots
