Seeking Herreshoff Meadowlarks

[Geo8308]

Hi everyone,I'm trying to compile a list of Herreshoff Meadowlarks and their location with the hopes of creating a Meadowlark owners email list.The Meadowlark was L.F. Herreshoff's design #88 and was penned in the late 40's. His design goal was to create a cruising length sailboat with the least possible draft for sailing the waters of Florida and the Bahamas.Over the years the Meadowlark was produced in many different versions, home-built and manufactured, and in many different materials, wood, fiberglass, steel and ferro cement. The Meadowlark's original design was 33' and was to be constructed in wood plank or plywood. The wooden version was featured in Rudder and Wooden Boat Magazine. A 37' fiberglass version was manufactured, per order, in Massachusetts in the 70's and early 80's,If your a Meadowlark owner, or know of one, and you would like to help, please email me at geosite@webtv.net, or post a reply here. Many thanks,GeoThe Herreshoff Meadowlark "Whipray" page address:http://community-2.webtv.net/geosite/TheSailingVessel/

Afternoon:There is one for sale at Green Turtle Bay Yacht Sales on Kentucky Lake. It's the only one that I've ever seen. It was in the slip next to mine when I was staying there. You just don't see a lot of them around these parts.
