Leading the Tuesday Tour of Vintage Boats is Meteor. Built in 1981, Meteor was manufactured by Squadron Yachts Bristol R. I., designer – Halsey Herreshoff. This 18′ Harbor Pilot model is powered by a 13 hp Yanmar Diesel. The sail is a steadying sail for when you’re in blustery conditions. The sail keeps you from rocking & rolling⚓️🇺🇸.
