Some boats are simply vessels, but Matsya is something more—a whisper of history, a guardian of quiet waters, a keeper of wooden grace. She has carried me across Narragansett Bay with a steady hand and an easy motion, her Herreshoff lines cutting cleanly through time itself. On her mooring, she turns heads. Under sail, she turns moments into memories.
But even the most beloved boats deserve devotion, and Rhode Island summers are fleeting. My heart has drifted toward wingfoiling, and Matsya deserves a captain who will hoist her sails as often as the wind allows.
One of the last of her kind—a Herreshoff Marlin, not to be confused with her fiberglass namesake—she was lovingly rebuilt in the 1990s and remains in excellent condition. She is ready, as she always has been, to carry a new steward toward peace, adventure, and the simple joy of sailing.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a true classic, this is your chance. Matsya is waiting. For more information, CLICK HERE.
