The return of the Newport 29 Class is an exciting devel-opment for 2008. The design genesis of this class is truly unique. In 1914 Nathanael G. Herreshoff drew upon the model of his own personal day sailing centerboard sloop, ALERION, to develop the ‘Newport 29 Cruising Class.’ By expanding ALERION’s lines 33% and adding a deeper fixed keel, the Npt29 was born. The Herre-shoff Manufacturing Company built three Npt29s in 1914 and a fourth in 1926. Three of these originals can be seen regulary racing on the classic yacht circuits in the northeast US and abroad. With hundreds of prizes continually won over the past century, there is no doubt why these beautiful craft are so highly coveted by their owners. By utilizing the original model and design data of Halsey Herreshoff’s NGH Collection, the new generation maintains the sailing qualities that have made the Newport 29 one of the most succesful designs of the 20th century.
