78' Herreshoff Cutter (1905) - DORIS

The largest all-wood Herreshoff. “The first yacht of any consequence built to the Universal Rule” according to L. Francis Herreshoff. She is being restored by Snediker Yacht Restoration. She has metal hanging knees rather than a sheer clamp. She also has unusual (and unique) inner frames that Herreshoff called web frames or belt frames. Both these features are visible in the dilapidated photo. Formerly ASTARTE, HUNTRESS, and VAYU. Planking is complete and fairing has started!
