The Herreshoff Marlin is a distinguished 20-foot, 9-inch auxiliary cruiser that represents the evolution of one of the most successful small-boat designs in American naval architecture. Designed in 1937 by Sidney Herreshoff, the Marlin was built upon the hull lines of the "Fish" Class, a celebrated day-sailer penned by his father, Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, in 1916. While the Fish was an open-cockpit boat intended for afternoon racing and shore-side recreation, the Marlin was reimagined to provide a modest cabin and the capability for overnighting and coastal exploration.
