For Sale: Herreshoff Ketch

  • August 21, 2024

This is a 40 -in-on-deck model of a Herreshoff designed ketch.  She’s called Quiet Time and is carved out of pine.  There are no leaks or cracks, and she’s in good condition, save for one or two minor paint dings.

Features include removable tube-stepped masts and 3 sails with stays secured by bowsies.  A working tiller is controlled by tiller lines, with a rudder profile that is enlarged from scale to aid in handling.  There is a working loose -footed jib, on a traveler.  The cockpit is self-bailing, and there are many mahogany details.

Included:

  • 14-year-old Hitec optic 2.4 radio (Needs new battery with the right connector to allow charging because the old wall charger died) but the radio works fine.
  • receiver
  • rudder servo
  • Hitec arm sail winch
  • switch

Asking $600 but is negotiable.  Quiet Time is available for pickup in the Boston Area.  Shipping would be extra.
