Doris is a sailing yacht, which has also been known as Astarte, Huntress, and Vayu, in Deep River, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
The vessel known as Doris was constructed with a primary emphasis on speed and novelty, representing an avant-garde design that was highly appreciated in her era.
Doris remains an exceptional and precious manifestation of Herreshoff's oeuvre, and she is adored by sailing enthusiasts and historians worldwide.
Previously, America Cup racers were often "either sleek and fast, but had unseaworthy characteristics, or scow-like vessels which were cumbersome but safe and able passage-makers.
The ship remained as Vayu under the next owner, Jim Mercanti, who had the boat between 1957 and 1975, before coming into the possession of David Revenaugh.
"[5] Original construction drawings for much of the ship are preserved in the collection at the Hart Nautical Museum, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
