1986 Herreshoff Dougdish

This 1986 Herreshoff Dougdish is a 16.5-foot fiberglass sailing yacht designed for daysailing and coastal cruising. Built to Herreshoff's classic one-design specifications, the boat features a full-length keel, a waterline of 12 feet 6 inches, and a beam of 5 feet 10 inches with a draft of 2 feet 6 inches. The sail plan totals 140 square feet, and the design is known for its stability, particularly in choppy water conditions.

The boat's fiberglass construction was completed by Cape Cod Shipbuilding, combining the durability of modern materials with Nathanael Herreshoff's timeless 1914 hull design. This one-design keelboat has become an iconic small yacht, valued for its balance of performance and manageable size.
