1981 Herreshoff American Eagle
About This Yacht
This 1981 Herreshoff American Eagle is a 22-foot classic gaff-rigged sloop built in fiberglass. The boat carries a topsail and includes an extra genoa, offering flexibility for different sailing conditions. With a centerboard design, it draws 4 feet down and 2 feet up, making it suitable for shallow-water exploration. The hull weighs 2,700 pounds.
Power comes from a single 6.5-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine, providing auxiliary propulsion at a cruising speed of around 5 knots. The beam measures 8 feet, giving comfortable stability for a vessel of this size and era.
The boat is sold with a trailer that was overhauled and inspected in 2024, ready for transport and storage.
