Stone Horse 23

• By Ginny Walters
• Updated: April 7, 2006

Sam Crocker designed the Stone Horse 23 in 1931 in the tradition of the small working vessels that evolved along the New England coast during the days of sail. In 1968, Edey & Duff adapted it to fiberglass but retained both the performance and beauty of the original. My husband, octogenarian retiree Dick Walters, is completely captivated by the boat’s classic lines, generous nature, and quick response to a light touch-he has his dream daysailer. Our Impetuous, hull number 44, was built in 1974. The last Stone Horse, number 150, was built in 1995.

Technically a sloop with two headsails, the Stone Horse, with its large mainsail, moves in the merest whisper of a breeze while the long keel holds it on course and facilitates self-steering. The boat is safe, kicky, and a sheer delight even in high-wind conditions that leave other boats at their moorings. The 8-foot cockpit welcomes guests and stays dry.

The mahogany-trimmed cabin has sitting headroom and enough space for an afternoon nap, or even for several days of cruising. Accommodations include two molded “easy chairs,” a roomy V-berth, a portapotty, an icebox, a butane stove, a sink, and a wood-burning stove with a Charlie Noble.

We replaced the original 5-horsepower Westerbeke with a new Yanmar 10-horsepower diesel. (Some boats were fitted with BMW diesels, for which parts are harder to find.) We carry a jug of diesel fuel to supplement the 3-gallon tank fitted in the cockpit.

Initially, the running rigging takes some getting used to. There are no winches; various blocks and purchases provide the mechanical advantage. A copy of the original rigging instructions, as well as other assistance, can be obtained from the Stone Horse owners group (www.groups.yahoo.com/group/stonehorsesloop).

The single design improvement we made was to fit a Hoyt Jib Boom to the staysail, replacing the club, which had a tendency to rise and twist when sailing off the wind. When the sheet is eased, the Hoyt boom, obtained from Forespar (949-858-8820, www.forespar. com), maintains precise control of the staysail leech, improving dramatically both the sail’s trim and the boat’s performance. We’re confident that the late Sam Crocker would approve of this arrangement. Asking prices for Stone Horses run from about $20,000 to $35,000. A recently established bonus of Stone Horse ownership is the lively Yahoo group through which owners exchange ideas and offer information. A reunion every summer at Edey & Duff’s shop in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, provides an opportunity to meet these Internet friends in person.

In the last 30 years, we’ve explored much of North America’s eastern and western coasts and most major lakes in between. These days, our Stone Horse allows us to relax while poking around the islands and bays on our mountain-girdled home waters of Lake Champlain, where her classic lines, wooden spars, bowsprit, and boomkin are fittingly eye-catching.

Nice.  

Will Gilmore

My father use to tell about the designer's interview with a sailing magazine. When the interviewer asked him what he thought they could do to promote sailing, he replied, "why would we want to do that?" - Will (Dragonfly)  

TomY said: The Stone Horse 23 has a great cockpit and an adequate sitting height cabin for overnighting. Simple adequate berths, a tiny galley and spot for a head in the bow. Crocker fit all that without a high cabin. Sleek. Quite a design trick. Click to expand

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

At least 30 built of wood since 1931. Adapted for Fiberglass construction in 1968.(Edey & Duff).
