Summary:
Used 1961
Location:
Camden, ME
Description:
THUNDERHEAD may be one of the most successful examples in this size and era of an exquisite looking yacht that lives up to its promise in sailing ability and comfort – a true family cruiser-racer. She is also as fine an example as they come of the transatlantic rapport that existed through the 1950s and 1960s between the Rhodes design office in New York and Abeking & Rasmussen’s fine craftsmen at Bremerhaven, Germany. A combination of tank testing, fine specification and build quality, and the right kind of care and use, has stood THUNDERHEAD in good stead for over 60 years and many thousands of sea miles. Many have craved ownership of this very special yacht, but chances to have been few and far between.

Arthur Beiser in the Proper Yacht [1ST ED.1966]" It has been my privilege to see THUNDERHEAD in her home grounds of Long Island Sound any number of times, and she has never failed to stand out from the other boats nearby. A clipper-bowed cutter under way makes a brave sight, and I have no doubt that much of THUNDERHEAD's racing success is due to accidental jibes by competing boats whose helmsmen could not take their eyes off her. It is interesting that THUNDERHEAD'S good looks are only hinted at in her plans. I. Still available at ListedBuy!
