Edey Stone Horse Buyer's Guide
The Edey & Duff Stone Horse on the brokerage market is a 23-foot trailerable fiberglass sloop after Sam Crocker's Design Number 159, built from 1968 to 2010 with 150 completed before the builder shut down. A used example is a stout pocket cruiser with a full keel and traditional flush-deck profile, suited to a couple who want a simple, seaworthy weekender rather than a modern performance boat.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every Stone Horse shares the same essential plan: a centerline companionway with sliding hatch into a snug cabin with mahogany trim and carpeted sole. A traditional V-berth with insert covers the portable head just aft of the mast, and two small quarter berths sit port and starboard, sized for children or storage. The galley is split, with sink, icebox and counter to port and stove to starboard; the port sink has no drain and is emptied over the side. A cabin heater is mounted on the port side. The raised deck gives good headroom for the size, and the 8-foot cockpit stays dry and welcomes guests.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the market carry a chartplotter and a cabin heater as commonly fitted gear. Beyond those, the defining equipment choice is propulsion: an auxiliary diesel under the cockpit or a transom-mounted outboard, with many owners fitting a small outboard for docking. The rig itself is the main buyer-relevant system — a cutter-rigged sloop with self-tacking staysail, roller-furling jib and two-reef mainsail, and either headsail may carry a boom or wishbone boom. A previous owner's asymmetrical spinnaker is a worthwhile downwind upgrade but falls outside standard fit.
What to Inspect
The known construction point is Airex core fiberglass with wood trim, so check the core and any wood detailing for past moisture issues. The port-side sink lacks a drain and relies on an over-the-side inset, a quirk worth confirming intact. Verify the self-tacking staysail and roller-furling jib operate smoothly, and that the boomkin and backstay arrangement securing the ample cockpit are sound. Confirm whether power is the under-cockpit diesel or outboard and assess its condition accordingly.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Stone Horses are found in the United States. For a shopper, the short list is: confirm Airex core and wood trim condition; test the self-tacking staysail and furling jib; check the port sink inset and cabin heater; verify propulsion type and service history; inspect the boomkin and full keel for groundings. A sound example offers a dry, easy-handling traditional cruiser for two with real Cape Cod pedigree.
