The Herreshoff Eagle, a 22-foot fiberglass cruiser designed by Halsey Herreshoff, represents a sophisticated evolution of the traditional New England catboat. Launched in the early 1970s and primarily built by Nowak & Williams in Bristol, Rhode Island, the Eagle was envisioned as a "pocket-cruiser" alternative to the smaller, 18-foot Herreshoff America. While it retains the iconic plumb bow, sweeping sheer, and broad beam characteristic of the catboat genre, the Eagle distinguishes itself with a cat-ketch sail plan. This configuration utilizes two masts—a large mainmast stepped far forward and a smaller mizzen mast—which provides a more versatile and balanced sailing experience than the single-masted catboat. The vessel’s design philosophy prioritizes stability and ease of handling, making it a favorite for coastal exploration and single-handed day sailing.
