| SWEETGRASS / A 26' N.G. Herreshoff Sadie |
|
|
|
These photos show SWEETGRASS during and after her first sail. Additional photos of her under construction are available on our What's New page. Designed in 1914, Sadie is a tweaked verion of Herreshoff's Alerion centerboard daysailer. Seven inches longer on the same 21'9" waterline, she is also slightly beamier and deeper. |
| Traditional buff-colored decks accent her varnished teak coamings and cypress bulkhead. |
|
|
A traditional and elegant cockpit is ensured by numerous traditional details: varnished ash tiller, oiled teak cockpit sole, turned teak seat supports, varnished cypress seats and bronze fittings. A bronze Herreshoff-style anchor rests in chocks under the aft deck. |
| The interior provides sitting headroom over a couple of bunk flats, storage space, and a few other simple amenities as befits a "gentleman's daysailer". |
|
|
Custom-made brass and bronze hardware on the varnished Sitka Spruce mast complements the traditional look and feel. |
