About this boat

Charter Emmalina, a meticulously maintained 1983 Herreshoff H28 sailing yacht built by Walker Boat Company in Geelong, Australia. This classic fiberglass ketch measures 29 feet (8.84m) LOA and offers comfortable accommodation for 6 guests with 1 cabin featuring a V-berth forward, saloon singles, and quarter berths.

Emmalina is renowned for her exceptional sea-keeping abilities and stunning traditional lines, designed by L. Francis Herreshoff for family leisure and coastal cruising.

V Emmalina is a Herreshoff designed blue water ketch.

Commissioned in 1983 she has undergone extensive modifications in the last five years to include all the latest safety and navigational aids possible. Although we have berths for 9 we normally recommend 6 guests as a comfortable maximum number.
