The Excalibur 36 stands as a pioneering milestone in the transition from traditional timber construction to the modern era of fiberglass offshore racing. Designed by the legendary E.G. van de Stadt and built by Southern Ocean Shipyard in Poole, the vessel was introduced in 1963 during a period when GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) was still a nascent technology. Unlike many of its contemporaries that mimicked the heavy, full-keel lines of wooden boats, the Excalibur 36 was a radical departure, featuring a fin keel and a separate spade rudder—a configuration that would eventually become the industry standard. This hull form allowed the boat to dominate the RORC (Royal Ocean Racing Club) racing circuits in the mid-1960s, earning a reputation as a formidable ocean greyhound that could handle the unforgiving conditions of the English Channel with grace.
