The Sea Sprite Association has a unique relationship with the Herreshoff Marine Museum. From our members, the HMM has acquired a fleet of five SS23’s along with assorted boat fittings and accessories and many hours of rehab work on the fleet of SS23’s. They are using the boats extensively in their teaching program. And for each of the past 7 years, the SSA has donated $300 to the HHM’s sailing program for both kids and adults.

Bill Lynn, president of HMM, wrote to Chuck Roscoe, Treasurer of the SSA, to thank us for our 2023 donation of $300. Our donation continues to contribute to the world of teaching kids the joy of sailing. It is much appreciated.

After a number of years of considerations about design, costs, and suppliers, a pennant is finally offered for purchase from our source, The SailBag Lady, in Madison, Connecticut.

FAIR WINDS!!!!!

Will Sofrin, in collaboration with the SSA and using the original line drawings archived at MIT, has created a beautiful fine arts print of the craft. His artwork is beautiful. We have offered his work through our Ship’s Store for many years, and continue to do so. Here is the print:

Each print is customized to reflect colors and names of the boat and owner on high quality paper. They are pretty neat.

Further information is available on the website under “Store”. Here is a link to the website page:

On this page, you will find a link that will get you to the order form that describes layouts available, pricing, etc. Print it out, fill it out, and send it on to Will. He is very responsive, and will answer any questions you may have.

Right now, Will has drawn up only a print for the Weekender. If there is enough interest among Day Sailor owners, he will draw up a Day Sailor print as well. Please email me with a brief note indicating your interest in purchasing a Day Sailor print. I will keep Will and those interested up to date about the numbers.
