Yachting World Seahorse

Wooden ships Comments on this Yachting World Seahorse

Yachting World Seahorse, designed by E.G Van De Stadt in 1959 as part of a design competition sponsored by Yacht World Magazine for a ‘build it yourself’ boat.

Van de Stadt was an accomplished yacht designer when he designed the Seahorse, she was design number 67 of his large portfolio totalling 150.

Rocinante was built by her first owner Tony Storer in 1974 to a very high standard for both racing and cruising. Fitted out with bunks to sleep 5, with a small heads and galley she is the perfect pocket cruiser/racer.

Much upgrading and refit work carried out in last 2 experienced ownerships including fitting her with both Bermudan and gaff rigs.  Changing to gaff is very simple using the same mast in the same position, changing backstays and fitting the gaff yard.  With her gaff rig she has become somewhat of a bandit racer on the circuit.

Lots of equipment and 4 wheel road trailer included.
