The Buzzards Bay 14 is a quintessential American daysailer designed by L. Francis Herreshoff in 1940. Commissioned by Llewellyn Howland, the design—officially cataloged as Design #86—was conceived as a larger, more powerful evolution of the legendary Herreshoff 12 1/2, which was designed by Francis's father, Nathanael G. Herreshoff. While the original 12 1/2 was built for the younger generation of the Beverly Yacht Club, the Buzzards Bay 14 was intended to provide a more robust platform for adults, offering increased speed, dry performance in heavy chop, and enough "elbow room" for six passengers. Today, the model is kept alive through exquisite wooden builds by Artisan Boatworks and contemporary fiberglass versions produced by the Buzzards Bay Boat Shop.
