Scud is one of 13 identical sloops designed and built by Herreshoff in 1903 and christened the Bar Harbor 31. These yachts have enormous sail carrying ability due to a good ballast ratio and coupled with their slippery hull shape, double planked and diagonally bronze strapped hull give them a turn of speed that modern boat would be proud off.
Freshly restored last year by Federico Nardi, Cantiere Navale Argentario, she has already proved her speed.
