Thread: Vanderstadt 24ft timber yacht 1966

Probably a Primaat. That was the 24 footer back in the days when Van Der Stadt (and New Zealander John Spencer) were blowing everyone away with the light and simple plywood boats that were much faster than conventional designs in the '60s.

Miles faster.



But they were not liked much by the chaps that had "yachts" - so many of the race and club rules for offshore boats were changed to keep the simpler, maybe even proletarian, go fast plywood boats out of races.

(this is not the boat for sale, but the name made me laugh - cool)



Come along now there Tigger! (if I can get Brian to do a drawly Yorkshire accent it would sound just as I imagine it)
