About Little Dipper II

<p><strong>Golden Era Petrel – Classic Herreshoff Beauty with Modern Practicality</strong></p><p>Introduced in 1977, the <strong>Golden Era Petrel</strong> successfully bridges the gap between classic New England yacht design and the durability and ease of ownership offered by modern fiberglass construction. Measuring 20.75 feet, this elegant pocket cruiser is a near-exact reproduction of the legendary <strong>Herreshoff Fish Class</strong>, preserving one of the most admired sailing designs ever to emerge from the drawing board of Nathanael Greene Herreshoff.</p><p>Originally conceived in 1916 at Herreshoff's famed Bristol, Rhode Island shipyard, the Fish Class was designed as a larger, more powerful, and drier alternative to the celebrated Herreshoff 12½. Its beautiful proportions, exceptional sailing characteristics, and timeless appeal quickly earned it a place among the classic yachts of New England.</p><p>By faithfully reproducing the original hull lines, <strong>Golden Era Boats of Noank, Connecticut</strong> captured all of the defining features that made the Fish Class so admired, including its graceful spoon bow, sweeping sheer line, and distinctive heart-shaped transom. The result is a stunning daysailer that retains the charm and elegance of the wooden original while benefiting from the low-maintenance advantages and longevity of fiberglass construction.</p><p>A true classic in every sense, the Golden Era Petrel offers sailors the opportunity to own a piece of American yachting heritage while enjoying the practicality and reliability demanded by today's boating lifestyle.</p><p>Located in <strong>Sales Tax–Free North Kingstown, Rhode Island</strong>, Little Dipper II is available for viewing by appointment.
