1984 Nauset Herreshoff America 18

This 1984 Nauset Herreshoff America 18 is a fiberglass catboat built to the classic Halsey Herreshoff design. The 18-foot hull features a shallow-draft centerboard, broad 8-foot beam, and spacious cockpit, making it straightforward to sail and practical for daysailing, family use, and relaxed harbor cruising. The gaff-rigged sail plan is simple and manageable, suited to the boat's traditional character and modest size.

The hull and deck are in good condition. The brightwork and varnish were refreshed in 2026, presenting a well-maintained appearance. Sailing equipment includes a Doyle mainsail with an American flag detail on the leech and a matching Doyle sail cover. New halyards were installed in 2024. The boat is outfitted with a bilge pump installed in the cockpit, rudder step, docking lines, and fenders.

A 2020 Honda 5 hp outboard is mounted on the stern with an external fuel tank, providing reliable, efficient power for maneuvering in and out of moorings, slips, and harbors. The boat reaches a speed of 5 knots under power.

A registered Load Rite trailer is included, offering flexibility for storage, transport, maintenance, and launching at different locations.
