    L. Francis Herreshoff designed this stunning boat in 1932 for Mr. Willoughby Stuart. Her plans are entitled 28′ Knockabout – Design No. 53. Mr. Stuart’s boat was built in 1933 and named BEN MY CHREE*, Gaelic for “darling of my heart”, BEN for short.

      I would like to get Ben My Chree and Palmetto together sometime for a sail. I could bring Palmetto up to Noanck to make that possible.

      Her keel and cabin sister Palmetto is lovely also. True LFH classics.

      Always a thrill to see her! Skipper would be amazed and pleased. Thank you for all that you have done to keep her going. – Art Brendze (Eastward)
