Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this Kim Holman Stella 26 Sloop Designed by Kim Holman and built by Tucker Brown of Burnham-on-Crouch in 1965. The Stella was a very popular design, derived from the Folkboat but slightly bigger all round with more volume and a bigger rig. To this day there is still an active fleet racing on the east coast and they have proven themselves as fast, capable and easily handled pocket cruiser racers. This yacht was owned previously by a skilled individual who undertook some major refit work carried out including dropping the ballast keel and fitting new throat bolts and keel bolts in 2013, Epoxy sheathed plywood deck in 2017, new rigging and recent sails. Brought to the south coast by the current owner, she has been used for local cruising and evening racing, maintained to a good standard and is currently looking smart and in regular use. She has 4 good berths by virtue of the comfortable pipecot berths in the forepeak. The birdpit is spacious and comfortable, far bigger than might be expected in a 26’ yacht. These boats really are wonderful boats to sail and have a surprising turn of speed that make them en enjoyable class to race amongst.
