1939 Herreshoff H 12.5

This 1939 Herreshoff H 12.5 is a classic wooden sailing yacht measuring 16 feet in length with a 5-foot beam. Built by Herreshoff, one of America's most respected yacht designers, the H 12.5 was conceived as a training boat suited to the challenging conditions of New England waters, combining manageable size with solid sailing characteristics.

The boat's traditional wooden construction and modest dimensions make it an accessible yet capable vessel for daysailing and coastal exploration. Its design reflects Herreshoff's philosophy of building boats that are both forgiving and responsive, qualities that have made these hulls enduring favorites among sailors for nearly a century.
