Summary
GALATEA is a true sailor’s sailboat. Distinctively designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, and built by Molly’s Cove Boat Works, this vessel combines both traditional and modern boat building methods to produce a practical and gracious cruising vessel. Designed to maximize space and to provide total cruising comfort for four people, GALATEA’S interior provides stowage and great access to all the gear typically used for classic cruising.
