Key Features:

Tiller Steering: The Herreshoff H28 features traditional tiller steering, providing a direct and responsive connection to the helm. This setup offers a classic sailing experience and allows for precise control, ideal for both leisurely cruising and more spirited sailing.

In-Mast Furling: Equipped with in-mast furling, the mainsail can be easily deployed or stowed from the safety of the cockpit. This system enhances convenience and safety, particularly when sailing short-handed, and allows for quick adjustments to sail area as conditions change.

Self-Tacking Jib: The self-tacking jib simplifies sail handling, making tacking effortless and efficient. This feature is especially beneficial for single-handed sailing, as it eliminates the need to manage the jib sheets during maneuvers, allowing the skipper to focus on steering and trim.
