Herreshoff 12 1/2

LILIANA is an original N.G. Herreshoff 12.5 Footer, built at the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company in Bristol, Rhode Island, HULL #1470, in 1939.  The very popular 12-1/2 is noted for its excellent sailing characteristics, speed, comfort, seaworthiness, and safety.  It is a very handsome keel sloop in which the hull shape, usage of interior space, and the rig, exemplify all the qualities of fine design.  "She moves through the water like a little ship, solid, easy going, and spacious for her size."

"The Herreshoff 12-1/2 is considered by many to be the best all-around sailboat of her size ever designed.  Her original design has remained unchanged.  She is a true classic."

LILIANA is cedar over steam bent oak frames with varnished mahogany trim.  Marconi rigged, it has quite new sails, very new mooring cover and jib cover, all spinnaker gear and lines with brand

new spinnaker, Harken blocks, oars, anchor w/rode, stand-up main sheet block on the cockpit sole for better purchase, teak cockpit sole, hand pump, spare lines, etc.  She has been a North Haven, ME boat her whole life. She is not restored or refinished.  She is just a good boat, ship shape, in good condition, with fresh paint and varnish inside and out this July, 2011.  All systems are in proper order.  In the water. Sail it away.
