The boat

Prudence is a 36″ Nereia ketch designed by L.F. Herreshoff. Low slung, with clipper bow and raked masts, she’s exciting to look at, and a joy to sail. Built in 1972 with mahogany planks on oak frames, a mahogany laid deck, and varnished cabins and caprails, PRUDENCE recalls that pre-war era we now call “classic.” Setting forestaysail, main, and mizzen, she carries 673 sq ft of dacron sails. Add a balloon jib and mizzen staysail, and you have almost 1,000 sq ft! As Herreshoff describes her, “She’s a real little ship. I believe she will prove to be very able and comfortable as well as quite a little faster than one would suppose.”
