1985 Herreshoff 17'

The Buzzards Bay 14, Nora Lynn represents essentially the same concept as the venerable Herreshoff 12 ½ enlarged and updated by L. Francis Herreshoff, the son of the 12 ½’s designer.

She is a fair amount larger than the 12 ½, with more storage space and increased speed and power. Like the older design, she is an ideal day sailor for deep water coasts, being roomy, comfortable, seaworthy, and good looking. She is specifically designed to contend with choppy water, and thus will be relatively dry and handy under a wide range of conditions on any coast.

Being a “sit down inside” boat, she is very reassuring for timid sailors, and young yachtsmen or for couples with small children. Like the 12 ½ she does not require a strong or athletic crew and can be easily single-handed.

Nora Lynn is in exeptionally good condition and offered for sale with a specially built Triad Trailer allowing her new owners sail and explore waters wherever the road might take them.

Nora Lynn is a new listing for Brooklin Boat Yard so complete equipment information is not available at this time but check back later or contact us here at Brooklin Boat Yard to learn more.
