The RELIANCE Project

About the Project:  The Herreshoff Marine Museum is constructing and displaying a one-sixth scale museum-quality model of RELIANCE. The model of the famous 1903 America’s Cup winner will be a cornerstone display and source of related museum exhibits. This model will be 33’ in length and more than 37’ in height. To date a fiberglass hull, wood rudder, aluminum-tube mast and solid wooden topmast have been procured, but it is readily apparent that sound engineering designs are required before proceeding further. The intention of HMM is to construct a fully-rigged static model with sails which will become the Museum’s cornerstone to display and educate visitors on the beauty of these large, extreme boats and Capt. Nat’s advanced engineering design and manufacturing competency.
