I inherited this boat from my father and have to sell it because Ive got two kids heading to college and now is not a good time to acquire boat responsibilities. I am motivated to sell this boat quickly. The price reflects that fact and I am open to any reasonable offer.
It is a lovingly maintained pocket cruiser. The boat is easily trailerable. The gaff-rig, hinged mast, and special tensioning system on the stays means that the mast can be quickly stepped, even by a single person. The catboat rig means that it can easily be sailed single handed. The shallow draft makes it excellent for the skinny waters of the Chesapeake and the keel means that even with the centerboard up the boat can sail to windward.
The interior has the premium feel of a much larger boat, with beautifully maintained teak bright work. There is a removable dining table that is easily stored out of the way beneath the cockpit. The two side benches form comfortable bunks, and the dining table can be dropped to create a comfortable doubt berth. For its length the boat is fairly beamy, meaning that with the combination of a wheel helm, it has a very roomy cockpit for a 20 boat.

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)
Inboard diesel optional.
Based on the earlier HERRESHOFF AMERICA.
