Buzzards Bay 30s were originally built in 1902 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Co. of Bristol, R.I.The 47-foot yachts were ordered by the Beverly, Mass., Yacht Club and were raced as a class. French & Webb has been selected to restore three of these 30 foot class sloops. These yachts, in varying stages of disrepair, will be brought back to their original Bristol condition using materials, hardware & details specified in their Herreshoff plans. Where possible, the same species of woods will be used as the original boats, including double planking of cypress and fir with a bedding of thickened shellac between them. The new BB 30's are living testament to last century’s golden age of yachting.
