1991 Doughdish No. 294 LAGNIAPPE
Doughdish (fiberglass Herreshoff 12 ½) No. 294, LAGNIAPPE, was comprehensively refit in 2025, with no cosmetic or structural detail overlooked.
Every area of brightwork and paint was stripped and redone, all structural and system needs were addressed, equipment upgrades were made by her experienced H12 owner, and she is now offered reluctantly for sale. Her sails are new and unused. She is H Class legal, has racing upgrades, and is fully ready to compete, if her next owner has that goal. LAGNIAPPE has only had two owners since she was built.
