A 1974 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 of designs, totalling 150.
Rocinante was built by her first owner Tony Storer 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 cruiser/racer.
The last 2 owners have both spent some considerable time optimising this already quick boat and you can now find Rocinante with the option of either a Bermudan or gaff rig (simply change the backstay to runners and host the gaff spar to become a gaff bandit racer). Works also included professionally sheathing and 2 pack painting (Awlgrip) the topsides.
Lots of equipment and 4 wheel trailer is included in her sale.
