Stella (yacht)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stella is a 'one-design' Bermudan (Marconi) sloop rigged yacht, designed for cruising and racing by the noted yacht designer CR (Kim) Holman in 1959. The design was to the requirements of a customer who had seen the Nordic Folkboat and decided that the English east coast needed a similar vessel but modified for North Sea as opposed to Baltic conditions and a competitive racer on handicap. The prototype: Stella No. 1 La Vie en Rose was built to win the 1959 Burnham (on Crouch) week, which she promptly did. Clinker built of mahogany or larch on oak frames.

Fleets exist in the UK (estimated 100 built) and Australia (approximately 20 built).
