The Herreshoff 20, also known as the H-20 Class, represents a unique convergence of early 20th-century design and 21st-century boatbuilding. Though its lines were carved into a soft wood half-model by Nathanael G. Herreshoff in 1928 as a proposed "Improved 12½," the design remained unbuilt for over 80 years. It was not until 2011 that Herreshoff Designs, Inc. partnered with the Bristol Boat Company to bring "Captain Nat’s" vision to fruition. The resulting vessel is a 19-foot 10-inch keelboat that retains the aesthetic of the "Golden Age of Sail" while utilizing modern vacuum-bagged cold-molded construction. Often categorized as an "aristocratic daysailer," the H-20 was designed to address the shortcomings of the smaller Herreshoff 12½ by offering a drier ride, increased speed, and a more spacious cockpit for adult sailors.
