42’ Horizon Steel Yachts (BC) Modified Pilothouse 2010 Colvin Gazelle Builder: Jake Fehr, Horizon Steel Yachts Designer: Thomas Colvin This well-designed carefully-constructed steel hull will make a great blue-water cruiser for your family and friends, and is an unique opportunity for someone looking for a "clean slate". If you've dreamed of a Colvin Gazelle you could make your own, without stooping to get to the aft bunk, this might be your chance. If you are looking for a strong cruising gaf or junk rig schooner at a very attractive price, this might be your boat. If you are looking for a safe boat to sail away on, this rare Pilot House design might be the dream you've been waiting for. You can install almost anything from engine to electronics, yourself, and not have to worry about how the previous owner did it. There aren't any thru-hulls below the waterline - none! The Colvin Gazelle is the most famous design of US naval architect Thomas Colvin, who as long championed both metal construction and junk rigs on cruising sailboats. The first hull was built by Colvin himself for his own personal use and was named "Gazelle". She has since proven to be his most successful design, with over 700 sisterships launched to date. The most common rig fitted is the Colvin designed junk rig. The junk rig is a wonderful cruising rig because it is simple; can be single handed; and does not rely on highly stressed rigging. The rig is easy to balance and especially powerful in reaching conditions. Note the keel widened for lower battery storage, opening the possibility for electric propulsion. This is a special project you will want to check out soon! You might be able to take off for Fiji in a boat you really know and trust. . . Romany Cob: a small draft horse bred by the Romany people for its strength, reliability, patience, friendly nature, steady temperament, adaptability, hard work, endurance - also perfect characteristics for an ocean sailing boat. . .
