I sailed a Stone Horse Saturday evening....neat little boat for the
older set.


"The older set"?? The Stone Horse is a great sailing little
boat. It's not necessarily for "the older set" but for those
who have an appreciation for a classic and value sailing
characteristics besides straight-line speed.

I had a good friend with a Stone Horse and sailed it many
times, on one occasion we beat a J-24 boat-for-boat in a
club race.

I bet there are fewer Stone Horses than there are Beneteau
35s5es around.

We have at least 2 Stone Horses on City Island. In fact I sold a nice
one a few years back. We have the only 35s5 on the Island and as near
as I can tell there are only a few on the entire sound.

It's not an ideal family boat, which is what I meant. It's hard to
imagine a well sailed J24 losing to a Stone Horse, but I guess
anything's possible.
