Wooden Ships Comments on this Kim Holman Stella 26
The Stella, designed by Kim Holman was yet another of his popular and successful designs, proving boats do not have to be big to be practical and capable.
This was the 10th of around 15 boats built, this one by Tucker Brown & Co of Burnham on Crouch in 1960.
In present ownership for a number of years, she has had a lot of heavy refit work carried out including new keel bolts and refastening. Recently had a new section of deck replaced and new sheer strake aft.
She sits on a very solid road trailer and can be towed with a normal vehicle making her extremely flexible and potentially cheap to run.
These attractive boats are a great choice for the cruising sailor as they are a slight step up in size and capability from the Folkboat but are still easy to handle and manageable to maintain.
Full list of findings from recent survey available for inspection.
