Notes: This is a larger version of the Herreshoff designed FISH but with a cabin and different rig. A smaller version was originally built of wood by Herreshoff Manufacturing. The design was acquired by Cape Cod Shipbuilding where it was built of fiberglass with some modifications at the direction of Sydney Herreshoff.\nBesides the version shown above, another variation has a larger cockpit and smaller 'cuddy' cabin (photo above).\nWas also available with a gas Palmer 19 hp engine.
