Jonquil - Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 25 - She's Ours!

After crewing on Jonquil on and off over the last few years I finally had the opportunity to make her mine. The long time owner wanted her to go to a good home where she would be maintained and sailed regularly.

Jonquil is 32 foot over all and was designed in 1914 by Nathaniel Herreshoff in the US. There are four original boats remaining in the US, Jonquil is a replica built by Roy Harris of Auckland, launched in 1988 she is the only example in NZ. Jounquil is built to the original plans with modifications to the cockpit coamings.

With that huge gaff main she is a hand full and will surprise many modern keelers of similar size.
