    NEITH, like many survivor yachts, has led a charmed life.  118 years after her build date, she is still going strong.    Fully restored in the early 1980's, she has been lovingly kept and sailed by one family who have provided steady, constant, professional care, on and off the water.  

    As a fledgling yacht brokerage firm, we were involved in introducing the family to NEITH.  They  took on the task, pledging to " bring her back equal to the day Nathanael Herreshoff sent her down the ways."

    Forty three years later they asked us to participate in finding new owners who will continue to maintain, sail and enjoy this unique and stunning piece of yachting history.     

    Her hull is double planked, Fir exterior and Cypress interior, above the waterline;  Yellow Pine below the waterline.  Interior ceiling is also Cypress.    Decking is Teak, with varnished Teak covering boards, toe rail and king plank.  All deck furniture is varnished Honduran Mahogany.   She sports an unusual flat Yellow Pine bow sprit, varnished.   The exterior finishing is done yearly and presents as a new boat, on schedule, every spring. 

    A new interior was built to the original drawings, a task which required tooling new blades to exactly duplicate the original paneling and details.  Varnishing, paint and all interior fittings adhere to the original drawings and wood species, Cypress raised paneling and Mahogany furniture.  Cabin sole is Teak.

    Spars are varnished Spruce.  turning blocks are varnished Lignum Vitae.  All standing and running rigging is replaced as needed.  Custom bronze winches were built specifically for NEITH by Barlow.  

    Modern gear, from wiring and plumbing to electronics and mechanicals are hidden from view while attention was paid to making them easily accessed.  Walking on deck or below, she appears as she did when originally launched.

    Please contact us for a viewing and full discussion.  NEITH is docked in the Mystic River during summers and  winters under a fitted cover and is available for viewing by appointment.
