InvitationThe Buzzards Bay 30s were originally built in 1902 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Co. of Bristol, R.I. The 47-foot yachts were ordered by the Beverly, Mass., Yacht Club and were raced as a class.

French & Webb was selected to restore three of these 30 foot classic sloops. The three yachts, in varying stages of disrepair, were brought back to their original Bristol condition, using materials, hardware & details specified in the original Herreshoff plans. Where possible, the same species of woods have been used as on the original boats, including double planking of cypress and fir with a bedding of thickened shellac between them.

The new BB 30's are living testament to last century’s golden age of yachting.

In addition, each of the three yachts have been fitted with a Gori 3-blade folding propeller.

We at AB Marine congratulate everyone at French & Webb on a simply magnificent ending to a very real classic project.
