"The Herreshoff 12 1/2 was designed by Nathanael Herreshoff in 1914 and emerged as a classic sailboat renowned for its timeless elegance and exceptional performance. Originally conceived as the "Buzzard's Bay Boat" for teaching younger sailors, the 12 1/2 quickly gained popularity as a keelboat training platform.

Over the years, more than 3000 of these vessels have been built and enjoyed worldwide. The boat's enduring appeal is reflected in active racing fleets found predominantly in New England. Today, the Herreshoff 12 1/2 remains a beloved icon in the sailing community, cherished for its graceful design and versatility on the water."
