Beautiful photos. I’m struck by the similarity to the Herreshoff 12 1/2. Exactly the same sail area. Remove the overhangs and same LOA. Same beam and draft. Weight and ballast close. It’s got to be faster than an H12 with the longer waterline and modern underbody, but I wonder if the balance is as good.
