Equuleus is a Stone Horse cutter. designed by Samuel S. Crocker in 1931, and built of Airex cored fiberglass in 1975 by Edey & Duff, Mattapoisett, MA. Described by Peter Duff as a “superior small cruiser”, she is surely that. Of traditional appearance in modern materials, she is comfortable, beautifully balanced, and easy to sail. She can take the weather, but also hold her own in the lightest of air. Equuleus’ equipment list is extensive, as is her complement of spares. She was repowered with a Beta 14 diesel engine and most ship’s systems have been upgraded.
This is season 38 for me and Equuleus. She has added much to our family experience over almost four decades, reluctantly for sale now due to declining health.
