6/17/26 marks the centenary anniversary of the launching of HMCo #983, RUGOSA. The final Herreshoff NY40 launched in Bristol, RI. For the last 40 years, Halsey Herreshoff has raced and cruised RUGOSA between his home port of Bristol, RI, to as far as Cowes, St. Petersburg, Athens, and Grenada. A truly special craft that has connected hundreds of sailors during Halsey's stewardship.
