REMOVED – 26′ 2006 Herreshoff Sadie Email Listing to a Friend

Refined by Nat Herreshoff in 1914, the SADIE design is an evolution of his personal sloop ALERION that incorporated slightly more ballast, 4” more beam and additional rake to the stem. These minor changes made SADIE stiffer, better balanced and dryer when beating into a choppy sea.

ANNIE (built in 2006 by Brion Rieff Boat Builder) has all the characteristics and head-turning good looks of the original SADIE while incorporating inboard power and a Marconi mainsail with lazyjacks with a roller-furling / self-tacking jib for ease of handling and for quickly getting underway and putting to rest.
