The Herreshoff Eagle is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a topsail gaff-rigged masthead sloop; with a clipper bow and bowsprit; a plumb transom; a shallow, transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 2,700 lb (1,225 kg) and carries 700 lb (318 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.83 ft (0.56 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 6 hp (3 to 4 kW) stern well-mounted outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a sink. The head is located opposite the galley on the port side. Cabin headroom is 48 in (122 cm).[1][3]
For sailing the design is equipped with boom-mounted jib.[3]
The design has a hull speed of 5.7 kn (10.6 km/h).[3]
