Kestrel,
one of 14 famous Fishers Island 31s designed by Sidney Herreshoff, is a successful adaptation of Nat Herrshoff’s Newport 29 (1912).
“The design started out in 1912 as the model for Nat Herreshoff’s centerboard daysailer Alerion, and that model, with ends extended on the mold loft floor, is what Sidney Herreshoff used in creating these wonderful boats. It was the work of great ingenuity, and there have been few all-around better designs ever produced.” From The Wizard of Bristol, by L. Francis Herreshoff, 1953.GO KESTREL GO KESTREL GO KESTREL
