Designed by Nathanial Herreshoff in 1914 and considered by many to be the finest day sailor ever built! "Sweet Sloop" was built in 1996 by the Cape Cod Shipbuilding Co. in Wareham, MA. This H-12 1/2 features a classic White hull made of solid fiberglass with a Red boot stripe. The mahogany woodwork is in great shape and finished bright. The cockpit sole is oiled teak. The solid Sitka spruce spars are varnished and in wonderful condition. She comes complete with sails, canvas sail cover and wooden cradle. The sellers have outgrown the boat, they are the first and original owners and have owned the boat since 1996. Irish Boat Shop has done all the maintenance since and maintenance records are available. Always fresh water, used only a few weeks each summer, and always winter stored indoors.

The Herreshoff H-12½ has been referred to as the best small boat design ever. Perfect proportions coupled with expert construction equal a timeless design and a boat that lasts for generations. Her hull shape and external lead keel provide stability through the water and her cockpit provides plenty of comfort for 6 adults. Yet she can be easily single handed with her self tending jib. We began building the fiberglass version of the Fishers Island H-12½ in 1950 after acquiring the exclusive rights to the Herreshoff Manufacturing Co.’s designs. In 1972 we also started building the original H-12½ in fiberglass. Using our fiberglass mold made from the original Herreshoff jigs and patterns the fiberglass H-12½ has the exact shape and specifications that Captain Nat created. The H-12½’s fiberglass hull provides for easy maintenance, but bronze hardware, wooden spars and trim maintain her beauty and heritage.
