37' Herreshoff/S&S/Persson Newport 29 Class Sloop (1953) - ROGUE

A variant of the Herreshoff Newport 29 with a Sparkman and Stephens rig and custom deck layout and interior. Rogue was built for Dan Morrell who convinced Sidney Herreshoff to re-measure his father’s half model and develop offsets so that Seth Persson could produce an accurate hull shape. Morrell then had Sparkman & Stephens design a more modern sloop rig—which she carried for a few years but by 1960, with a mizzen added, she became a yawl for a couple of decades. Now she’s a sloop again and has proven a very successful racer. Besides her speed, she’s an excellent cruiser and just a wonderful creation to look at. It’s hard to beat that hollow bow and the subtle shadows it casts!
