Overview
Accommodations
The Haven Class Sloop is a modified version of Nathanael Herreshoff’s deep-drafted 12 1/2 sloop designed and built as a production boat in the early 1900’s. The advantages of the Haven Class over the Herreshoff are that she is easier to trailer due to the centerboard rather than the deep fixed keel of the Herreshoff and is able to be taken into shoal water. In terms of sailing ability and aesthetics the Haven Class is virtually identical to her predecessor. Joel White retained the fine elegant lines and carefully redesigned the hull so that the much-admired attributes of the original Herreshoff 12 1/2 (balance, stability, speed and responsiveness) remained unaffected by the reduction in draft.
