Herreshoff 28


"Marloo" is widely recognised as the first of the iconic Herreshoff designed H28 ketch to be built. These full keel classic yachts are renowned for their beautiful lines and sailing prowess in both light and heavy conditions. "Marloo" was lauched in early 1945 and has enjoyed a long history of good maintenance. Down below she has two decent settee berths which convert to a full width double. The galley area has a 2 burner metho stove with grill, stainless sink with pressurised water and a 12v chest fridge. Up in the foc's'le is a porta loo and storage for anchor etc, plus a table which mounts in the saloon. She has low hours on her 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel, and has two sets of sails, one of which is new. Inventory also includes auto-pilot, sounder, VHF radio, solar charging, Bluetooth sound system and a full boat cover.
Last slipped for antifoul Feb 23.
