New Construction:

BB 25 under sail

Buzzards Bay 25 on first sail

BBS built a 33-foot Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 25 (FLYING DREAM) of traditional plank on frame construction (oak and locust framework, cedar planking, copper rivets, and bronze fastenings) to exacting standards.  We built the spars and fabricated the hardware, all to original specifications.  Ballentine’s has the hull and hardware molds to duplicate or modify this boat on request. 

(See cover of WoodenBoat magazine May/June 2003.)

 

Calaban, Ariel II's tender
CALABAN was built according to the original plans for ARIEL II obtained from MIT.  This tender was built to exacting specifications and is a sailing, as well as rowing, dinghy.  Sidney Herreshoff's design, despite having never been built and tested (to our knowledge), is amazingly effectual and beautiful.

To support the demand for attractive and versatile tenders, we have begun to construct three sailing dinghies that live up to our standards.  

We are currently taking orders,  please call or email with any questions.

Shellback sail plan

Shellback
The 11’2 Shellback, a Joel White design, is currently under construction at BBS. It is a stable dinghy that can be effectively rowed, sailed or towed.

Pea Pod Sail Plan

Peapod
The 13’ Beach Pea Pod, designed by Doug Hylan, is a lapstrake double ender specially designed for rowing, towing and sailing. It easily pulls up on the beach for landing parties, and with the additional length it can accommodate a little more crew or cargo.

Nut shell sail plan
Nutshell Pram
The 9’6 Nutshell Pram, also from Joel White, is related to the Shellback but it is shorter and without a pointed bow. Like the other two dinghies, it rows, sails and tows quite well, while offering stability in a more compact package.
