Around the Buoy

EP 28: S-Boat 100th Anniversary


Listen Later

The S-Boat is one of Nat. Herreshoff's most iconic designs, and this year, it turns 100! In this episode, we talk with Alan Silken who just finished writing Setting Sail in America, a comprehensive history of the class that includes the origins of the design, and the many fleets here in New England, and even on the other side of the world in Hawaii. (Yes, I said Hawaii!) Then we bring in the Commodore of the Narragansett Bay S-Boat Fleet, Fred Roy, to talk about all the events surrounding the celebrations in Newport, Rhode Island. We are also joined by Ep. 15 guest, and our "Herreshoff Expert", Evelyn Ansel, for expertise on the subject, as well as to catch up on what she has been up to since she was last on our show. This is an episode 100 years in the making... Listen in!Photo: Tyler Fields Photography
