The Herreshoff Bar Harbor 31 (BH31) represents one of the most refined expressions of the "Golden Age" of yachting, a period where the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company dominated the design of one-design classes for the American elite. Commissioned in 1903 by members of the Mount Desert Yacht Club in Maine, the class was designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff as a fast, seaworthy racer-cruiser capable of handling the challenging conditions of the New England coast. While the "31" in its name refers to its 31-foot waterline length, the vessel’s dramatic overhangs result in a striking overall length of approximately 49 feet. Only 13 of these hulls were built between 1903 and 1904, and they are today considered some of the most sought-after prizes in the classic wooden boat community. Detailed records of the original designs and construction are preserved within the Herreshoff Marine Museum archives.
