Wooden Ships Comments on this Yachting World Seahorse

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

Van de Stadt, an accomplished yacht designer, produced the Seahorse as design number 67 in his extensive portfolio of 150 designs.

Rocinante was constructed by her first owner, Tony Storer, in 1974 to a very high standard suitable for both racing and cruising. She is fitted with bunks to accommodate 5 people, along with a small heads and galley, making her an ideal pocket cruiser/racer.

Significant upgrades and refit work have been completed during the last 2 experienced ownerships, including the installation of both Bermudan and gaff rigs. Switching to gaff rig is straightforward, utilizing the same mast in the same position, adjusting backstays, and attaching the gaff yard. With her gaff rig, she has gained a reputation as a bandit racer on the circuit.

Included with the boat is a lot of equipment and a 4 wheel road trailer.
