The Stone Horse 23 is a full keel twin headsail (like a cutter) sloop based on a 1931 Sam Crocker design, but recreated in modern airex-cored fiberglass. Featuring a self-tacking staysail on a wishbone rig the boat is exceptionally easy to sail and handles like a dream. Rocinante has received much love from its owners, including brand new v-berth cushions (never used) and new cockpit cushions. Boat is in overall good condition, no damage to fiberglass and all teak is complete. She is a beautiful boat and we get lots of compliments at the dock and while sailing. The Stone Horse was manufactured by Edey and Duff in Massachusetts.
