1972 Cape Cod Bulls Eye
This design by Nathanial Greene Herreshoff was originally built out of wood by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company in Bristol, Rhode Island and in later years (also in wooden construction) by the Quincy Adams Yacht Yard in Quincy, Massachusetts and was / is known to generations of sailors as the Herreshoff 12 ½.
In 1938 the design was given an above-transom tiller and renamed the Fishers Island Sound Bull's Eye. In 1947 the rights were purchased by The Cape Cod Shipbuilding Company and a new version was created by the original designer's son, (A. Sidney DeWolff Herreshoff) to be built in fiberglass construction and incorporating a cuddy cabin, a modern Marconi rig and aluminum spars.
This final version of the classic Herreshoff 12 ½ would be named the Cape Cod Bulls Eye. Proof that “you can’t get enough of a good thing” is that since being first designed in 1914 there have been well over 2,000 wooden versions of the 12 ½’s built and easily 1,000 fiberglass Bulls Eye are on the water today. While the construction methods, deck and rigging may have changed over time the hull shape has remained the same and these boats are still in production to this day.
