New Construction

	Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 25 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.) For more information on her construction see the Buzzards Bay 25 Page. She was also Miss December in the BBS Calendar Girls.
	16' Garvey Skiff We have finished building our new work boat! She is the Ben Garvey Skiff made of Sapele plywood with bronze hardware and mahogany floor boards. She has a strong and well padded rail to easily move the boats we take care of while keeping all our hard work safe. She is sturdy, quite buoyant (especially compared to our water logged old whaler), and not to mention, she is a looker! If anyone wants to try her out, let us know, otherwise keep your eye out in the harbor for the prettiest yard skiff around. We are able to customize construction upon request.
	Herreshoff 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.
	Shellback Dinghy 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. Click here to see the Shellback Photo Gallery
	Pea Pod Dinghy 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. Click here to see the Pea Pod Photo Gallery
	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. We are just finishing our first Nutshell, give us a call or email to get more information.
