Un diseño de Sam Crocker de 1931

el Stonehorse

This Sam Crocker classic was designed in 1931 however less than 40 models were built before production was interrupted by the World War II. Some of these original wood models are still sailing and lovingly cared for by their owners. In fact, it was Mait Edey’s ownership of a 1938 Stone Horse that led to Edey and Duff’s collaboration, and an additional 150 fiberglass Stone Horse models built by Edey and Duff between 1969 and the early 1990s.

The most striking feature of the Stone Horse 23 is her raised, flush foredeck that was masterfully drawn by Crocker to blend into the cockpit without a hint of excess freeboard. Although only 23 feet on deck, the overall length of the Stone Horse is extended to 28’ 3” with the addition of a bowsprit and boomkin which helps balance the profile appearance. The hull is a full keel with traditional wine glass sections and a transom-hung rudder.

Los ricachones de Boston gustan de salir los sabados
de verano a pegar unos cuantos bordos, pero no en cualquier cosa, pondioss... y a uno se le ocurrio encargarle uno parecido a Chuck Payne pero de 44', inspirado en este diseño en la obra muerta, pero de obra viva mas moderna.

Pero resulta que mi amiguete Garret Brown (el inventor del SteadyCam) tenia de su padre un Stonehorse original que amaba pero del que resentia su poca altura interior, y en cuanto empezo a hacerse rico con su invento (yo le conoci todavia en la fase vaqueros con rotos...) no dudo encargarle al mismo Chuck un diseño lo mas parecido posible al original, tan solo algo mas grande y de mayor altura interior, el Tangier 31...

Cuando se lo entregaron si no me mando 150 fotos no me mando ninguna...andestaran ...
