Cape Cod Bull's Eye
Description
The Cape Cod Bull’s Eye is a 15.71-foot trailerable sailboat designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff in 1914 and built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding since 1947. Originally constructed in wood as the Herreshoff Bull’s Eye, it evolved into a fiberglass version in 1949, retaining the same hull design but with modern updates. Known for its seaworthiness, stability, and classic design, it’s a popular choice for day sailing and one-design racing.
