You have good taste. It's an N.G. Herreshoff design.


as best I could as it was covered and the rig was down, but it really
looked like a boat that would be beautiful to look at and fun to sail
in the right conditions. I am not really looking for one, but I would
appreciate any experienced observations of this little beauty. It was
a 1993 model and looked brand new.

I've never sailed a Bullseye, but it's a marconi rig version of the
Herreshoff 12 1/2. Same hull, same rig proportions. These boats are a
lot of fun to sail, if you're brought up on something like Lasers they
don't twirl as readily but they are thoroughbreds.

I think you should consider buying it!
