Herreshoff Islander sailing boat

Designed by Sydney Herreshoff and built by Port Hamble Ltd. Herreshoff aimed to design and small, fast and easily managed but very capable keel boat, and this is exactly what the Islander is. The boats were built here and shipped back to America due to lower production costs and very few examples remained in this country. Light enough to tow behind a moderate car at 1.25 tons, easy to single hand but with a large enough cockpit for a crew. The small cabin has space for 1 or 2 berths to allow weekend camping trips and an outboard mounted over the side is there as a reliable and simple back up. A beautiful looking boat in good sound condition, in commission and being used regularly this season.

  • Year: 1953
