The Herreshoff Goldeneye is an American trailerable sailboat, designed as a day sailer and cruiser and first built in 1959. The hull lines were designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff and the rig by A. Sidney DeWolf Herreshoff.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
The boat is based on Nathanael Greene Herreshoff's 1914 design, the Bull's Eye and is Herreshoff's design No. 1133.[7]
The design has been built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding in the United States, since 1959, and remains in production.[1] [6] [7] [8] [9]
The Goldeneye is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a plumb stem with a bowsprit; a raised counter, angled transom; a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller, a self-bailing cockpit and a fixed long keel. It displaces 25000NaN0 and carries 13200NaN0 of lead ballast.[1] [6] [7]
The boat has a draft of 3feet with the standard keel. It has a small cuddy cabin, with sleeping accommodation for two people and an optional portable head.[1] [6] [7]
The boat is optionally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. Sails, lifelines, a cradle, a boat trailer and a compass are also all additional-cost options.[7]
For sailing the design may be equipped with a range of jibs, genoas and a symmetrical spinnaker.[1] [6]
The design has a hull speed of 5.33kn.[6]
