Penn Yan Adjustable Hat

In 1921, Charles A. Herrman established the Penn Yan Boat Company, manufacturing a wide variety of boating products, including canoes, rowboats, sailboats, and powerboats. Although originally constructed of wood, the company switched to fiberglass in the 1960's. Penn Yan catered to a wide range of customers as it offered ski and racing boats for the thrill-seekers, yachts for the relaxed, and functional fishing boats for the commercial fishers. German-native Herrman was a master of boating innovation and he became revered for his Tunnel Drive invention. In order to achieve higher boat speeds while maintaining hull stability, the tunnel drive pattern used a cavity that partly covered the drive shaft and propeller. In 1979, Penn Yan was sold, and though it achieved great success in the world of boating, its doors came to a permanent close in 2001. Penn Yan’s love for ocean exploration and enjoyment lives on today as Penn Yan’s vintage Commander and Captivator boats remain.
