Herreshoff 28

This isn't "classic plastic" - she's wooden, but they built them later in plastic, so close enough? ;)
She tacked in close just as I showed up on the dock, but it took me a minute to get the camera out (my Westwind in the foreground):
This is the best zoom I could get:
There was a nice wind (no whitecaps, but close) - I think that's what the H28 likes, because she was really honkin' along (notice how she's closing the gap on the boat under power ahead of her?):
She's kept over on that far shore, at a yacht club where I go to put my mast up, so I got a closer photo of her a couple of years ago.
Built in Toronto, in the late 1950's, if I recall correctly:
