This 1985 Herreshoff Nereia is a design classic drawn by L. Francis Herreshoff and built by Molly's Cove Boat Works. At 38 feet with an 11-foot beam, she combines traditional design principles with modern fiberglass construction, featuring a composite FRP-cored hull. The yacht carries the character of Herreshoff's timeless designs while incorporating practical updates for cruising.
Below deck, the layout accommodates four people across two cabins, a head, and a galley with storage thoughtfully arranged for extended cruising. The interior prioritizes accessibility and stowage for the gear needed for traditional sailing voyages, with a layout that balances comfort and functionality.
A Yammer diesel engine producing 50 horsepower provides auxiliary power, giving the yacht a cruising speed of 6.5 knots. The yacht has been continuously improved and refined by the same owner over many years, with extensive refit work completed over that period.
