Say hello to Stormvogel; a timeless offshore icon and now the standout classic in our growing fleet. She's not just graceful; she's formidable too. In the 2023 Rolex Fastnet Race, Stormvogel claimed 6th in IRC Zero (and placed 11th overall in IRC) from a massive field of 358 starters. Launched in 1961, Stormvogel was one of the world's first lightweight maxis-designed by Van de Stadt, with input from Laurent Giles-and built of cold-moulded wood. She won Line Honours in her first-ever Fastnet, and over six decades later continues to sail-and compete-with unwavering spirit. With more than 50 entries now confirmed and less than 2 months remaining until the 2025 Rolex Middle Sea Race, anticipation is building.@rolexmiddlesearace
