Haven 12 1/2 Day Boat by Joel White

Nathanael G. Herroshoff, (1848-1938) famous for his very successful America’s Cup Yachts, was the father of L. Francis Herroshoff (1890-1972) who also designed yachts. Perhaps Francis’s most iconic design was his 16’ day boat, the Haven 12 1/2, which Joel White subsequently modified to produce his own version. She differs by being wider and shallower with a centreboard.

I think both version are very attractive.
