Golden Era Petrel 21
Description
The Petrel 16 the 16 is a reference to its wateline length, is a fiberglass reproduction of Nathanael Herreshoff's classic FISH design, built by Golden Era Boats beginning in 1977 and continuing for several years thereafter. This 20.75-foot LOA fractional sloop features a traditional long keel with transom-hung rudder configuration, displacing 2,850 pounds with 1,400 pounds of ballast for exceptional stability and sea-kindly motion. The design emphasizes the timeless Herreshoff aesthetic while utilizing modern fiberglass construction methods, making it an ideal platform for weekend cruising, day sailing, or club racing. With its substantial displacement-to-length ratio and comfortable motion, this pocket cruiser carries forward the legendary seaworthiness that made Herreshoff designs famous, though exact production numbers from Golden Era Boats remain undocumented in readily available sources.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
