daan62 276 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 19 minutes ago, Editor said: Who, what and where? http://stormvogel.net/about-stormvogel/history/ However, the Van de Stadt Zaandam drawing office was very busy towards the end of 1959 so Bruynzeel subsequently turned to Olin Stephens, but Stephens did not dare risk his reputation as a designer with a project that he felt involved a considerable risk. Bruynzeel then asked the English designer Laurent Giles, who had experience with building large, lightweight stringer construction wooden hulls to come up with a design. While Giles was still working on a preliminary design, Bruynzeel by chance meet Capt. John Illingworth, a man who loved to experiment and Bruynzeel could not deny him the opportunity to put his vision down on paper. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bgytr 348 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 that's a sweet, forward looking boat for the early 60s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matagi 826 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 So what do you expect if you use a pic that this Google appartus finds? Extremely nice, though. Basically the great (large) grandmother to my little one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wingssail 39 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 My first impulse was Stormvogel, having seen the boat out of the water in Trini in 2013. Seeing the photo of Cornelius Bruynzeel (in the white coat) nailed it for me, but I was too slow. Congratulations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boatcat65 10 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Right side up- the hard way to build a boat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMOD 77 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 bruynzeel had an nack for nice boats. one of his other boats was designd by Stephens, and is still one of my favourites: Zeearend. aluminium deckhouse, 2 offset companionways, spiral staircase and a round table. he bought it after overnighting in a harbour next to stephens on stormy weather on his motorboat. As the next day they were heading to amsterdam and it was against the wind, he offered stormy a tow. Stephens denied and the next morning he left. Bruynzeel had a hard time keeping up with stephens while stephens short tacked up the river. He decided then and there that this was the man who had to design him a new ocean racer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jono 46 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I read the link. I didn't realise the Oceans 70 were the same design. Anyone know if the displacements were the same or the glass ones way heavier? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
