Word of John Hutchison's work on the Fishers Island 23 CRUSADER (see "Around the yards," above) called to mind that another Herreshoff Fishers Island design, the Fishers Island 31 KESTREL, built in 1929, was donated to the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol, Rhode Island, in 2010. Said to be well maintained and recently restored, she races and cruises locally and sees service in the museum's youth seamanship program. The Herreshoff Marine Museum also started an interesting program in September 2010, in which professional boatbuilders serve as mentors for 14- to 18-year-old students. The students take on the tasks of caring for, preserving, and restoring the Herreshoff 12 Vts the museum uses in summer programs, and along the way they learn skills ranging from wood identification to tool use to boat painting. Their after-school sessions are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with occasional Saturdays as well. Herreshoff Marine Museum, 1 Burnside St., Bristol, RI 02809; 401-253-5000; www.herreshoff.org.
