Description
ECLIPSE is a wonderful example of one of Nathaniel Herreshoff's most iconic designs, the Buzzard's Bay 25.
Built in 1996 of cold molded cedar by Damian McLaughlin, she is a wonderful day sailer or over-night weekender. Her large deep cockpit is comfortable and commodious for day-sailing and the cabin if fitted with a small galley, toilet and holding tank for cruising.
Her keel-centerboard configuration allow gunk-holing and anchoring in the most secluded coves and harbors. The two cylinder Yanmar diesel assures the ability to get home easily when the wind dies.
This beautiful boat is sure to give the next owner great joy to own, to sail, and simply to just gaze upon.
