1968 AlCustom Marlin

This 1968 AlCustom Marlin is a fiberglass sailing yacht developed from Nathanael Herreshoff's original Fish Class design. Sidney Herreshoff adapted the iconic lines for modern construction, adding an aluminum masthead rig, counter stern, and inboard rudder to create the Marlin variant. At 26 feet with a 7.58-foot beam, she represents a refined evolution of classic American yacht design.

The boat has been substantially modified with a sit-down cockpit layout, a configuration that reflects the thoughtful ergonomics Herreshoff himself championed. The fiberglass hull construction provides durability and easy maintenance compared to the wooden boats of the original era, while retaining the proven performance characteristics of the design lineage.
