"Sensible" doesn't feel right in 2013. But for the owner that appreciates a beautiful easily sailed small ketch(and can afford the costs), isn't this a decadent pocket cruiser? True to Herreshoffs sensible cruising designs like the Rosinante', this is knife blade of a hull, 8' plus a couple inches wide, 5' of heavy keel to keep it on it's feet in some wind, 33' long on deck, plenty of comfortable cockpit, commodious decks.

Below. Sitting headroom, a couple settees, minimal galley. Designed from the outside in, you got what fit below. His idea of "sensible cruising", changed.
