Dyer Extended Pilothouse (Extensive rebuild 2003)

Heron was custom built by the Anchorage in Warren, Rhode Island in 1982.  She is hull #221.  She is in very good condition and has received proper care by her knowledgeable and meticulous owners. She was extensively rebuilt in 2003 and has been appointed with multiple options that make her a nice example of this classic yacht including her lovely stars and stripes blue topsides, complimentary upholstery through-out, Simpson Lawrence Sprint 400 windlass, newer eelctronics, new wiring, Dyer Dhow stars and stripes sailing dinghy, custom built Dyer 29 three axle trailer and much more. 

She is powered by a Volvo 155 hp diesel - 280 stern drive that was rebuilt in 2003.  This configuration delivers exceptional maneuverability and is quieter and roomier than the standard mid-engine boat since the engine is in the stern.  With her 2' 6" draft, she can venture into the shallowest of waters giving you endless options of areas to explore and enjoy. She offers great performance with a comfortable 8 knot cruise and a top speed of 12 to 13 knots. She burns a mere 1.5 to 2 gallons per hour at her cruise speed and is extremely efficient.

She has been used as a race committee boat in South Florida, Block Island and Narragansett Bay and for the past three years she has provided the owner and his wife with weeks of enjoyable cruising on Lake Ontario, Georgian Bay and upstate New York.
