The Cape Cod Bull's Eye is an enduring testament to the genius of Nathanael Herreshoff and the pioneering fiberglass craftsmanship of the Cape Cod Shipbuilding Co. Based on the hull lines of the legendary Herreshoff 12 ½—specifically the "Fishers Island" variation—the Bull's Eye was adapted into fiberglass in 1947. This transition marked a historic moment in maritime history, as the Bull's Eye became one of the first production fiberglass sailboats ever built. Unlike the original wooden "Twelve," which featured an open cockpit, the Bull's Eye incorporates a small cuddy cabin and a slightly altered rig to enhance seaworthiness in the choppy, unpredictable waters of Buzzards Bay. Today, the boat remains a quintessential American daysailer, prized for its heavydisplacement stability and timeless aesthetic. Cape Cod Shipbuilding Co. continues to produce the model to this day, emphasizing its role as a bridge between the Golden Age of yacht design and modern material durability.
