HISTORY and CONSTRUCTION:
Most classic boats begin life with a good story, and the Stella One-Design Class is no exception. Early in 1959 A E ‘Dickie’ Bird, the then Commodore of the East Coast’s Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, asked ‘Sonny’ Cole of Tucker Brown’s yard at Burnham on Crouch, to come up with a cruiser-racer along the lines of a Folkboat but slightly bigger and beamier so as to give greater initial stability with more spacious accommodation.
Quality was a must, but the Commodore wanted a straightforward approach to construction methods and n...

BENTE DORTE was built in Skagen, Denmark in 1926 to the traditional Danish Haikutter style dating from circa 1900. These were principally motorised fishing vessels the larger of which carried a ketch rig. By 1940 over 6,000 examples had been built for North Sea fishing. Today a relatively small number survive. BENTE DORTE was discovered in Sjotorp, Sweden and fully restored with a tall-ship style rig and retaining her traditional exterior look whilst sympathetically fitting out the interior for comfortable living with modern conveniences, safety equipment and machinery.
In 2008 BENTE DORTE ...

HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
BLUE LEOPARD is a legendary design from the board of the talented naval architect Jack Laurent Giles, who in the early 1960s was asked to produce a design, merging both a motor and sailing yacht equally. With a light displacement, BLUE LEOPARD is easily driven with a sail area ratio comparable with the famous J-Class racing yachts.
In 1962 Desmond Molins of Eaton Square, London chose William Osborne of Littlehampton to build BLUE LEOPARD to the same exacting standards as their lifeboats with a strong but lightweight hull. BLUE LEOPARD was a modern design for her da...

HISTORY and DESCRIPTION:
Designed by Tams and King Incorporated of 250 Park Avenue, New York City, USA, for the 1927 season. From as early as 1869 an early craze for fast gentlemen’s yachts emerged on Lake Windermere. Not to be outdone, the craze moved across the Atlantic to the shores of the East Coast of America where numerous famous personalities acquired equally and perhaps more luxurious steam yachts. Between the Wars, a need by the many wealthy men of fortune from Wall Street to spend their wealth on craft gave the creation of nearly three hundred vessels, ranging from 25ft to 3...

HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
Although little is known of her early history, SUNSTAR is believed to have been built as an open aft cockpit twin-screw motor yacht with flat transom, and then later extended to a canoe type stern with enclosed stateroom aft of wheelhouse sometime in the late 1920s. Her engines were originally twin-cylinder Hyland petrol. SUNSTAR was re-engined in the 1940s with two Brit four-cylinder petrol engines, later changed to twin BMC 1.5 diesel engines in 1963.
SUNSTAR was built in 1927 by the well-know Windermere boatbuilders Borwick & Sons. She was first re...
