Description: ** ORIGINAL LISTING BROKER : Artisan Boatworks Inc. of Rockport, Maine **
2014 Herreshoff Full-Keel Buzzards Bay 15 25ft
LOCATION : Rockport,Maine
Asking price : US$129,500
DESCRIPTION:
The original Buzzards Bay 15s were designed by Nathanael Herreshoff in 1898, and known as the E-Class. In 1906 Herreshoff designed a full-keel version of the Buzzards Bay 15 incorporating the following modifications:
-Ballast keel lowered from 2′ 6″ down to 3′ 1″ and weight increased 500 lbs.
-Sheer raised 2″, Cockpit lengthened 8″ and widened 6″
-Mast diameter increased so as to eliminate running backstays and jib club added for self-tacking.
These modifications resulted in a classic daysailer that maintains the stunning looks of the original Buzzards Bay 15, but is easier to sail, more comfortable, and can stand up to more wind.
FOXFIRE is a new full-keel Buzzards Bay 15 built by Artisan Boatworks in 2014. Planking is carvel Cedar, edge-glued and fastened over steam bent frames and a laminated mahogany backbone.
She has been professionally maintained always and is in as new condition. Included are a 2014 Triad Trailer, Shaw & Tenny boat hook and canoe paddle, docklines, and fenders, anchor with rode, and required safety equipment.
** I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC **

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
