This paper discusses the history, restoration, and reproduction of the Herreshoff 15-footers. The first section presents the history of the H-15 class and its evolution through today. It also reviews the Herreshoff Registry, which documents the members of the class and provides a central repository of identification numbers. The second section discusses the restoration of existing, original boats; and the construction of new members of the class - all from a boat builder's perspective. The third section presents the issues faced by an owner making design choices for the recent construction of the new H-15 MURMUR.
