The Haven 12-1/2' is a modification of the timeless Herreshoff 12-1/2' done by the incomparable Joel White, the Haven features all the features of her inspiration: a stable and forgiving sail, the ability to single-hand or sail with your entire family, and the classic look that turns heads on the water, with the added convenience of a shole draft with the centerboard.
Legacy was meticulously built by the owner in 1999 and sailed in New Jersey's historic Barnegat Bay. The boat has been lovingly maintained and cared for by the owner and she remains in "Bristol Condition". She is planked in Atlantic White Cedar over a White Oak stem bent frames and centerline. All fastenings are bronze. She has Honduran Mahogany seats, coamings, transom, and interior trim. Her gaff rig is made from Sika Spruce with Optimum Sails. She has a custom fit canvas cover for proper winter storage and is ready to go sailing as soon as the weather gets warmer.
Recent work on the boat includes recaulking the underwater planking (2023) and all the brightwork was stripped back to bare wood and recoated (2024).
Legacy comes with a Load Rite trailer (1999), making it easy to launch and transport yourself and also a canvas cover for winter storage. Legacy is a remarkable turn-key boat
