[Bobbev]

Find a copy of Good Old Boat Jan/Feb 2002 which has an outstanding article on the Stonehorse cutter.
As the former owner of hull no.75, I can attest to the virtues of this pretty boat.
Well built,good sailor though a little tender,and without doubt, the prettiest boat in any harbour.

"On Saturday, Edey & Duff featured the Builders Cup Race for boats built by E & D and sailed by those who know Good Boats.The day was foggy to begin ,but by the time the race started at 1300 hours the sun broke through the fog and the the SW wind piped up to make for typical Buzzards Bay sailing conditions.The scene was awesome, Edey & Duff boats,Five Stone Horses,five Beetle Whale Boats rowed by club members from Buzzards Bay Rowing Club and from New Bedford Rowing Club, two 28 foot Shearwaters under yawl rig, a Dough Dish, a Stuart Knockabout and a new cat boat, Hull #1 recently built and launched this day, all sailing about. Also bobbing on moorings were Fatty Knees which seemed to be waiting contently for their passengers to finish the race.

The Stone Horse race was competitive and at times the scene of all these good boats in view was a special sight to behold.The winner ,Hull #3, Young America crossed the finish line only a few seconds before Windfall and the rest of the boats. After all the boats were moored and crews rowed ashore,all were treated to a Boatyard Cookout. Afterwards Dave Davignon gave a talk about the past and future of Edey & Duff. The guest numbered 60 or 70 and all appeared to be having a fun time. All the Edey & Duff workers were present with their families and friends, plus boat lovers and owners from Texas to New Jersey to the New England states. The day was as good as they get for boat lovers." says Bill McBrine, owner of Stone Horse hull # 001.

Nice little write up above.

Very similar to the columbia challenger except that you can get the challenger for 500 to a 1000 normally and it may sail slightly faster as well as all glass and keel does not extend the full length of the boat but almost.

Maybe the stonehorse would take harsher weather better would be the biggest difference.
